Tags are a memory aid, decided upon by the person doing the remembering. If some other person with intentions other than recall choses the tags, then they are indeed improperly chosen.
If tags are "memory aids" - and memory aids only - why bother displaying *all* of the tags from each user?... The "Common tags" ought to be good enough to get the mnemonic juices flowing.
There's _javascript_ overhead, too, which may be a significant concern if you're thinking about pushing this out to zillions of Yahoos! (who may not have the horsepower to display JS-intensive pages readily.)
From my perspective, tags are memory aids, "and a whole lot more!" as they say.
I don't want to get into all of this again here and now. I just thought this context might help put this change into some perspective.

PS - Last thought: There's probably a Greasemonkey solution to this problem, eh?... Or not?... Could you not reconstruct the old page using GM?...
