Tobi: I've been working with "Unicode values as tags" for a few years now and am having reasonable success thinking of them as a very large "alphabet".
Unfortunately (as the unicode consortium freely cautions), the order of the characters is not necessarily in the same order as expect by the users of the natural language)s) in which the letters originate. Obviously, this can cause apparent SORT inconsistencies. That being said, I've been quite successful in identifying long strings of characters that do have "expected" sort sequences, so I've been able to create some very long "vectors" that I can index through. This is particularly powerful when combined with your cycleTags macro since its possible to create "mixed radix positional notation)s" that become a very powerful "Number System" that effectively creates a structure for all of the left-most values. I have good results explaining this staring with an "odometer" analogy and then suggesting that each of the "positions" in the number can have a different base. Canadians catch on quite quickly since our postal codes are ANA-NAN e.g. M1C-3L3 which equates to ... 13X26^5 + 1x10^4 + 3x26#3 + 3x10^2 + 12x26^1 + 3x10^0 It may not be obvious how this relates to what I believe you are working on, but I would be happy to try to make it clear, if you are interested.
