Sorry, but your original response reads to me as saying that calibre doesn't support hierarchical tags. And while the statement of "Tags are comma-separated...always" is true, that is unrelated to how calibre does hierarchical tags. Overall, it sounded like you were saying that there was no way the plugin could create tags that could be treated as hierarchical by calibre.
My response would sound like to someone who knew nothing about the Library Codes plugin, and knew nothing about the heavily modified Classify API (that was the topic of discussion in the first place) that it uses to obtain many of them.

The Library Codes plugin is 3 years old, and has been generating LCEAD Tags (Tag-Like Custom Column Tags) flawlessly for 3 years. FAST Tags are just a new source for a Tag-Like Custom Column. No big deal.

LC is a generic plug-in, and I will not hardcode anything special in its API for a single user. Calibre is powerful enough in functionality so a user can use standard Calibre functionality to achieve whatever they want without asking me to hardcode it just for them.

Since I have developed 14 plug-ins, I should be presumed a priori to know a little about programming plug-ins, using both Calibre's APIs and native SQLite, to create Tags in all of their flavors.
