What are the other options, then? One I can imagine is some kind of hierarchical management tool built into "Manage Tags", where I can explicitly say that tag "foo" is the parent of tag "bar". Personally, that sounds like a nuisance to me, since I would have to visit that page and clean up my tree on a regular basis as I created new tags, but perhaps some people might prefer that to using "foo: bar". What are the downsides to "foo: bar"?
