Yes. The tags are organized with 2 kinds of relations sub-tags and related
tags. This
enable to explore the tags universe and to organize them.

No. For instance we could put all the tags in a flat tree (i.e. all the tags at
the same
level) but then it would be rather tedious to find something.
Here are some examples of tags branches as I see them:
Licence
Open Source
BSD
LLGPL
GPL
MIT
...
Commercial
Operating System
Every OS
Unix family
Linux
FreeBSD
...
Windows
Win32
Win64
WinCE
...
Library
Text
Typesetting
So with these tags cl-typesetting will be tagged as: "BSD" "Every OS"
"Typesetting"
And this will imply the "Open Source" and "Text" tags.
