Some hierarchy is necessary, and the tagging mechanisms I'm familiar with don't really provide that. A few minutes trying to get help on any GUI application whether from Microsoft or GNOME convinces me that documentation is not something that should be left to non-developer users. (I don't know about del.icio.us, I stay as far away from that kind of Web2.0 as I can.) > Perhaps gnu.org could have a Web service that would federate user > tagging, and which could be used to update one's local Emacs.

This is what I had in mind, although like you I don't really know how the "federating" algorithm should work.
