So again, how do you do with a person called Paris, and the capital of
France, Paris.
As well as Person Bengt, and Copyright Bengt

And more importantly. If you have tagged 10,000 photos, and put about 5
tags per photo as average. Then you have a problem, and you loose your
photos.db. But you are happy since you still have the photos, and since
F-Spot wrote the tag information as XMP, F-Spot should be able to recreate
all the various tags (and its hierarchy) rather easily.
How will this work???

That should work fine, and I think Warren is working on this.
