This is a great idea. Early use would have to be limited, because the rest of the world assumes directories. It would be great if the world ran on tags though.

Bookmark tags is why I'm still using Firefox instead of Chrome. I recently tried Chrome for a week, I really wanted to like it, but bookmark tags is what brought me back to Firefox. I look at my browser as an information manager as much as a reader, and multiple tags per bookmark is my killer feature.

Gmail's imap folders as tags, multiple tags per message, and their exposure of imap to external clients like Thunderbird, is why I was finally able to convince myself to use gmail instead of my hosting provider's email. I confess that I don't use multiple tags as much as I thought I would. But I could!

Tagsistant still uses directories. It's just that the directory names are automatically also usable as tags.
