Request: Sidestreaming Tags

Hi all,

I have a convoluted tagging system that results in my limiting a metadata download to a couple of tags, which I then, usually, highlight and replace with my own. The reason I don't eliminate the downlad completely is that there are occasional books that come my way that I don't know about before-hand, and the list of tags helps me do my own tagging. My own tagging is very, very much smaller than most, as I keep less than 20 tags in all.

It occured to me that it might be good to 'keep' the tags the cumulative web has decided for the book. But where? How about at the top of the comments section? What I would need is an optional capability to pre-pend OTHER people's tags to the comments upon import. In a LOT of ways, that might be a better description of the book than many of the comments I do see.

IS this kind of thing possible? And would it be popular enough to warrant the time spending writing it? And lastly, are you interested Kiwidude?

GM
