In the last few days I put forward the idea of making a tagging index,
something the wiki can't do, and something tag watch doesn't go far
enough to enable.

The idea is simple, make it as easy as possible for people to find
tags already in use, and if they don't exist make it as easy as
possible and hopefully part of the editor/work flow to add new tags to
the index and document them, all within the editors themselves.

I've started both documenting an ideal list of features:

As well as a proof of concept:

Currently it's a very basic proof of concept to add/update tags,
values and descriptions, with the feature list on the wiki being a set
of goals.
