This mixes together two separate issues.  Tags are, as I have already agreed,
an excellent way of doing a search mechanism.  They don't get rid of the
need to have a workspace, though.  Suppose I want to switch back and
forth between five very different brushes.  Must I remember and select
a set of tags each time I switch?  That would be very unpleasant.  No,
whether or not there is a tag-based search system, there still needs to
be a way for the user to maintain a workspace holding a limited set of
arbitrarily chosen brushes.
