Tagging windows with arbitrary tags sounds pretty painful to me. It is easy to press or invoke a tag sending a window to a specific page (that is like a tag) and you don't have to think about how you call the tag, because a page is associated with a number. With this in mind, we already got 'dynamic pages' in my eyes, though I considered a completely different idea, namely to destroy empty pages automatically without the exception of page 0. But on the other hand it would force the dynamic concept completely on a page level and Machnus for example won't be able to keep up his static environment where a specific page contains specific clients for a special task ...
