I think tags for functions are necessary only for core functions, i.e. files likes simple.el and subr.el can't have useful file-level keywords. They are a collection of diverse functions where it's difficult to find the necessary function. > Package categories would logically assist in tagging and searching for > the package's functions by providing a stable category path in > addition to the free-form function tags. Please note the terminology. A tag is a non-hierarchical free-form term. In Emacs a keyword not registered in `finder-known-keywords' is really a tag. To extend Emacs keywords we could take a well-established taxonomy like Debian package tags and add to the Emacs taxonomy in finder. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
