Hi Ralph,

I think there are two contexts to consider:

1.
In the context of the UI, I believe separating 'who' from 'tag' makes sense.  
In my current system for managing pdfs, I think of these two concepts 
differently, sometimes searching on one or on the other, depending.  Likewise, 
I'll do 'tag gardening' a lot more aggressively than trying to manage all the 
possible who values, which are largely out of my control.

2.
In the context of the schema, I don't really know.  I lean towards a separate 
field there too, but I'm having trouble articulating why and maybe it is less 
important.   I guess it mostly depends on how it would affect other apps.  If 
other apps are using the tags attribute too, will it be a problem or a benefit 
if there are a few hundred 'who:' entries in there (in my case)?

FWIW, I'd be totally find with naming the who attribute in the schema something 
along the lines of scanningcabinet_who or pdfcabinet_who or whatever. While I 
think some concept of 'who' could be useful to other apps (e.g. an email 
importer, the twitter importer etc), that probably balloons into a larger 
problem that ends with separate who permanodes with their own attributes like 
email address and twitter handle. And tags, lol.
