What is the reason for this?
The version line might be good information to have - at least in a 
comment. If a snippet stops behaving correctly, the original author of 
the snippet is gone, nobody any longer really remembers what the snippet 
was supposed to do - then the version line will give a hint on which 
ancient lilypond to use in order to see the snippet as the contributor 
intended.
Automatically commenting out version lines - and automatically 
complaining if the snippet asks for a wrong version - should be quite 
simple.

Some other comments:

Why is it that you cannot preview a snippet from the database before you 
are logged in?

And I really think that the author of each snippet should be visible 
from within the database. If you have a question regarding some code it 
is good to know who provided the snippet.
If people really are against this, perhaps we could add an "anonymous" 
checkbox. But this should also affect the search feature so that you 
would not see anonymous snippets when searching on authors. I do not see 
the need for this, though.

The tagging is great, of course :-)
You did not really write anything about how far the implementation has 
gone. afaics you are unable to search on the tags - or use them in any 
way. What are the plans for this?
