Two main differences - albums are ordered, and albums can have other 
metadata attached.   Eventually I think it could be useful to include 
some of the options iPhoto has - things like a soundtrack to play while 
showing the album.   I think it'd be valuable to hold other presentation 
information there - perhaps preferred background colour, if you want 
frames around the photos, etc.

Well - if it makes you happy.    I thought we were nailing down the 
definition of Album.   IIRC the fact that only a subset of the tags are 
shown in an album was in your original definition and that triggered 
this whole discussion...
