Owen, thanks for detailed explanation of the problem. But if the amount of tags on the "edit page" form is a problem, so the solution is to show only N most frequent tags (for example 10-20). I meant of course that tags selection functionality is to be part of the core plugins package, not the part of the core - I agree with you.
