I had done some thinking about copyright tags, but I have been  
swamped up in work (and currently is about a third of planet from  
home). The reasoning was to have the tag being litterally "© Bengt  
and Jade Thuree", the "©" character being inserted to tags made  
children of a "Copyright" tag.

For this, I had created some non-editable  tags, with a  
EnsureCategory function that ensured that the tag did exist in the DB  
and created it if necesssary (with the right icon). This may be  
useful for other kind of tags (maybe favourite, places, people...).  
Then I thought that some people launched f-spot in different  
languages (POSIX locale or national language locale e.g., which is  
not always english). So I realized that mandatory tags had to have  
their name translated on-the-fly. I added support for that. Then my  
free time died on its own.
