Actually no. I have a very similar workflow for translation projects and when I discovered tags I decided to shift to them if you do so programatically, think that setting a flag is exactly equivalent to setting a tag. And you also have the option to add a tag (that you did not have with flags), so it actually is an improvement, and it would be even better if Apple provided us with the tools to do it out of the box rather than rely on volunteer help from list members :)
In a script I would set the flag to start a project and then manually change the flag for invoicing etc.
With Shane's code I can set the tag to a specific tag (and not *add* a tag) in the same script. The only real difference is when I manually change the tag since Finder allows me to keep the old tag, so I need to delete it too.
I've extended my workflow to the creation of a Calendar event to go with each project and I'm working on creating a script to transform that event *and* the tag of the associated folder again using Shane's code.
The complicated part is writing the script, not manipulating tags :)
