Let's check some functional requirements. :-)

I'm envisioning tag hierarchies as an overlay, thus:  

- All tags would remain in the tag set and could be individually chosen (i.e. both leaf and non-leaf nodes are available as tags on posts).

- Tags could be designated as children of other tags, but there would be no requirement to have a single overarching tag tree -- use the relations where they make sense and don't where they don't.

- The page for an individual tag would indicate its parent and/or children, if any (as links to those tags).

- Searching on a tag would search the tag and all of its children.

The tools for *managing* this are TBD and would probably be "workable but not pretty".  There wouldn't (yet) be tools for viewing tag hierarchies graphically.

Would this meet the basic need?  This seems to me like it would help a lot, but I don't want to just build what *I* think we need -- I want to check that with others.
