Hi Andrei, I hadn't really considered what you are mentioning, but we already have some of that namespacing functionality. For example, tags are associated with a website id in the table. When we do blog/website tags we will have another table for that. Using the prefix style of tagging in the db introduces another level of complexity in the code such as parsing strings when doing queries. Could you explain more of the benefits that you see in your approach?
