    Great to see the beginning of this plugin! Much needed for web 2.0 projects. I'd like to suggest the following additions/refinements:

    1) The ability to track particular user's tags e.g. taggable.addTag(tag,userId)

    2) The ability to query for Taggables  by  a)  tag name b)  tag name and particular user e.g. Taggable.findAllByTag(tagName) and Taggable.findAllByTagAndUser(tagName, userId)

    3) Expose Tagging for easy tag clouds calculations. For example the following methods would return Map instances with tag counts keyed by tag name:

    * Tagging.getCountsForAllTags()

    * Tagging.getCountsForAllTagsFor(userId)
