I believe that Foo-bar conflicts with Foo-baz.  I think that
regular tags would be enough, if we wanted to do this.

That is true.  I'm not certain if it's worth trying to make (and
implement) a "real system" to these tags, though; that's a lot
more effort than we're currently thinking of doing on the issues.
And I still have some hope that James will return to documentation
work at some point, just so that we can have at least one person
doing docs!

But if you (or anybody) want to make an official list of tags, I'm
certainly willing to discuss it.  I don't think these tags should
duplicate the existing Type- labels, though, so
"area-documentation" should not appear in the list.
