Sure thing, like you say email is a hard medium to convey intent
sometimes.

The way keywords are implemented, it is possible to attach more than one
keyword to the same image.  This makes them superior to simple
categories, because a given flag can exist in more than one place this
way.  This allows both positive and negative filtering.  For example:

   + keyword "flags"
   + keyword "national"
   + keyword "historical"
   - keyword "illegal in *"
   - keyword "imaginary country"

or...

   + keyword "flags"
   + keyword "United Nations"
   - keyword "organization"
   - keyword "historical"
