Why are you reusing the xowiki tags table? Does that mean you need to have xowiki installed? Does it have any other dependencies on xowiki?

I usually install xowiki on all my sites, but everyone might not want to do that, and this generalized service seems useful with out without xowiki.

You are right, but personally I can't think of a site without xowiki and being in a hurry I choose to use the xowiki_tags table.

Actually this is the only dependency on xowiki and it would be very easy to switch to an independent table.

Claudio,

tags may be useful for ecommerce without xowiki. I'm not certain that xowiki with ecommerce is a secure combination, if customers have permission to edit xowiki pages.
