I'd like to think that something like this could work.  I'm not 
absolutely convinced that the list with checkboxes is even necessary, 
though; perhaps we could just have the text-based list with bolding, at 
least as a first implementation.

I've created a ticket "possibly combine Add Tags and Modify Tags 
commands" at http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2382 .  That will be a good 
place for further discussion about this.
