Yeah, no matter what system we come up with people will exploit it. All you can do is put some limit and controls on it, and clean it from time to time. Also - tags work in some stores so I could say "I want futuristic books with space ships and aliens but NO magic or stinking elves!" Which gives the publishers an incentive to get the tags right.
