Tags, or keywords, which in the WGO context are the same, have been in 
use for many years in scientific papers and documentation systems; if 
using keywords is a bad idea I think decades of use must have proven 
them wrong, but they are still in use - and extending to the normal user 
in the web via tags.

Keywords are just an alternative system for retreiving information, a 
system which may co-exist with a hierarchical taxonomy tree. It's not an 
end, but a mean to improve the way people browse and retreive 
information in a highly populated site or information system.

If the chosen CMS allows tags, I would use them.
