It's worth noting that there is already something of a de facto tag

SpotMeta hasn't been updated for Leopard (the COM swizzling stuff has
stopped working) but it's under the GPL.
I don't like encoding datatypes in keywords (it reminds me of very
heated discussions with certain DB admins in my WebObjects days). I
was thinking of a set of defined keywords and using a plist
(traditional or xml) to encode the values with. That's a lot more
flexible. And if you use a schema, you will also have localised names
of keywords. That can be handy if you need to populate a user
interface where you need to display attributes that are out of your
control.
