I agree with Tilghman.

I don't think these tags should be a requirement, but I think they are a 
welcome addition to common practice for this list.  If a poster doesn't 
want to use them, fine, it doesn't really matter.  However, having more 
clearly defined subjects certainly isn't going to hurt anything.
