Tagging

[aphenine]

When I was looking around the database, I noticed that the tag database obeyed a tree form, which meant that tags could be stored with categories and subcategories and so on.

This is not a feature that's implemented, and it's high on my list of "features I'd love to have in DW" (possibly no 1 :-) ), and I have also written some tree algorithms using HTML/PHP before, so I thought I might try to give it a go and see if it went easily. However, when I went looking, there are no bugs in bugzilla about tree tagging, nor does there appear to be any information about this as a planned feature, despite the DB support.

So, I was wondering, can any of you please tell me more?

That's probably something that was put in back on LJ when the tags thing was first being designed and then was forgotten about. *G* (mark would be able to tell you more, though, since he was half of the team that implemented tagging in the first place.)
