You might want to look at this:

It would support subfeeds as well.

I am firmly of the view that tags should be a seperate object to
categories.
Firstly categories define sub feeds, i.e. readers can subscribe to
categories I don't envisage them being able to subscribe to tag
filters, apart from which the weight of interest in a users tags will
change as the users & their readers views & interests change.
In short, C 12m A, A m2m T, therefore C m2mT - this means that using
tags readers can query for content across Categories. (Hope this makes
sense, "12m", 1 to many, m2m "many 2 many").
In my blog article about del.icio.us (you didn't tell me off last time
so),
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/DaveLevy?entry=why_aren_t_you_using
I explore the relationship between tags & bundles and come to the
conclusion that first order tags exist (at least in my mind). The
problem with attempting to merge first order tags in a tagging
infrastructure is that we may lose the network (m2m) relationship
between tags. We will complicate the code. My answer at delicious is
to ensure that I know which of my Tags are first order and to
personally enforce the "Each article must have at least one First
Order tag".
I expect to publish my views (at greater length) on my blog.
Having just joined the alias, I'm not sure about voting on timescales,
but more time to get it right; I have just joined is best for me.

The proposal looks pretty simple and straight-forward to me. I assume
that you have chosen the "Leave categories alone and simply add
tagging support" option, is that true?
Is there enough information in this proposal for us to OK committing
this to SVN?
Should 1) we wait until 2.1 is done, 2) create a branch for it now or
3) try to get it in 2.1?
From my point-of-view, option #1 is the low-pressure and easy way to
go.
BTW, our proposed code-freeze for 2.1 is Thursday Jan. 19th.

I've updated Allen's proposal for WeblogTags with some details as per
our IBM internal implementation. I would love it if several of you
gave it another look and commented on how we should proceed with it.
We have plenty of code to turn this around really quickly, but would
need your approval first. Once you give it a go, just tell me which
branch to start editing and I'll get to work. I'm still on vacation,
so this would be the best time for me to do this before I get back on
the crazy schedule of work/school life.
