+1 Dani. IMHO an excellent post.

> *Tags, in the traditional form [...] you have all your tags at one big pile.

Yes - being able to put your tags into a hierarchical structure would
be wonderful.
Regards the number of levels, you mention that 2-3 might be enough.
I generally head towards allowing for 7 levels when developing
solutions for such challenges. Not just my idea!

And i totally agree Dani, missing from many a good CMS is the ability
to filter a hierarchical data structure. Sure, there is filtering
implicit within the concept of hierarchy. When you expand a node, you
see only the child content of that node. Many a developer rubs their
hands together with glee as they point proudly at their masterpiece.

However, what if you don't want to see all children? Perhaps you only
want to focus on some of the children. Imagine being able to browse
your hierarchical data structure with it filtered according to some of
the tags you selected from your neatly organised hierarchical
structure of tags.

Then, when you go to add a piece of content, it automatically gets
tagged with all tags associated with the filter that you have in
place, as well as obviously being set as the direct descendent to the
node that you had selected at the time.

I hope some of you understand my ramblings.
