I like the tag editor mock up! I too would make good use of additional functionality related to editing tags (and authors, publishers, & series for that matter).

I guess there are a few approaches to tagging a library.
Going through it systematically labeling entries with a limited number of distinct tags.
Going through it systematically, downloading tags from metadata sources, labeling entries with innumerable (but thorough) distinct tags.
And the approach I settled on, downloading a pantload of tags for the library, then going through and culling, merging, etc. until I am left with a reasonable number of distinct tags.

All three approaches would benefit from a few additional capabilities on the Tag Management panel...I think lucidcrux defined those very well.
The use of : as a tag divider is not a good idea if tags might be used as a folder generation in windows
