Doesn't this concentrate on the user side of things? It seems to allow users 
to organize their resources in the same way they can organize pictures in 
applications like digikam. What I had in mind was more like allowing providers 
of, say, brush sets, to deliver a coherent set of resources that the user 
would see as one thing. Unless, of course, there is provision to invisibly 
import a set of tags at the same time as loading a new set of resources.

(I haven't had a chance to look at your code yet, hopefully I will manage to 
do that tonight.)
