I am going to point out the flaws with this (exclusive) approach.
Publisher
OMG how many way can you enter a Publisher (I have see all of these)
Baen
Baen Books
Baen Publishing Enterprises <<current releases internal
Baen Pub (with and without punctuation)
Baen Pub Ent
Baen Fantasy
Baen Science Fiction
Series
Even the Publisher has used different series names in various books WITHIN the series
plus the variants with (leading or trailing) and without articles
Even Author naming is not exempt:
A. Bertram Chandler
Bertram Chandler
Bertram A. Chandler
While I would like New Book Tags to only allow intersection with existing Tags, That falls apart with: Fictitious Character 'x' Imaginary Place 'y' type tags
In most cases, this one is the most recoverable data, after the commit has been done.
Colorize/Bold (New) non-existing tags in the (Manual) Metadata edit screen, calling attention that these will be added
if they are still present when you click OK
