The diff from v1 is below. Implementation wise this series now looks OK to me; I think the dequote routine could be slightly clearer, but it's a bit subjective at this point. IMHO the real question is if we like (or can live with) the resulting UI for batch tagging. Mark ( id:87ehid5h64.fsf@qmul.ac.uk ) brings up the question of whether tags with newlines should be somehow supported in a batch-tagging context. The other UI issue I'm aware of is the fact that tags with spaces needed to be quoted in two different ways for tag operations and for queries. A relatively smooth upgrade path would be to support Xapian quoting for tag operations in the future. d
