But nearly all questions you will ask will belong to this set and since it is a fixed tree it is optimized for the questions you want to pose.

I get the advantage of tags but to be able to simulate a fixed directory structure you have to write a tagging tool that can handle the kind of constraints that are implicit in the fixed tree. You have to have a level on your tags and you have to be able to say that for a certain sequence of levelled tags the next tag must belong to a specific set. The you can enforce the thing you get implicitly with fixed directories.

The existing tagging tools I have seen does not seem to be so good but I might just have missed some good tools.
