"""
 tags have:
 - a list of resources they're applied to
 - a time they're applied
 - for multi-user tags, the author should be passed (fudge for now)
 for now just assume  auth is on and that anyone authenticated may tag
 e.g. a tags file

foo = /bar:1273023556 /fleem/baz:1273023556 etc
cats = /cats:1273023556 /blog/mycat:1273023556

Ideally, the form of tags would be something like a table

Tag | URL | Author | Date [seconds since epoch]
