Comment #14 on issue 688 by jussi.ao.malinen: would like to be able to associate metadata with a test case

One rather obvious problem with using huge amounts of tags is the rather cumbersome format of report files, where all tests are duplicated for each tag.
There has been some talk about rebuilding the report files to be smarter and to rebuild the view by tag using JavaScript. Maybe we could keep this use case in mind when rebuilding our report files. If the report file makes it easy to handle/search/sort/view test results with huge amounts of tags, the tags would be easier to use as described by Bryan. (It shouldn't be too many lines of JQuery to allow searching and filtering by tag or combinations of tags)
