[tomboy-list] Tagging in Tomboy; why?

For those of you who don't follow the RoadMap [1] (tagging support is
slated for the next version of Tomboy) or Bugzilla [2] too closely, I
attached a patch to the following bug.  It's a first stab at
implementing note tagging:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380634

What I'm interested in hearing from everyone is, once you've used
Tomboy and have added a bunch of tags to your notes:

    What additional features would you hope tags would give you?

For example, one idea that's been mentioned is to filter the list of
notes in the Search All Notes window by selecting a tag and then
exporting the filtered list to HTML, printing them, performing XYZ
operation on them, etc.

I'm playing a little of the devil's advocate here.  I want to hear
your arguments for why tagging would be important.

Thanks!
