Shouldn't be a bit different? I can see that tagging is a nice feature
to have but there is some cases where you want to just add custom
metadata on a object/container/account in Swift that doesn't mean
tagging.

A lot of swift feature are based on metada for instance when you want
to add the Quota you would change the X-Account-Meta-Quota-Bytes
header or if you would like to add ACL you would change the
X-Container-Read header.

Just my 2c so that feature is not just tagging[1] and we can add
arbitary headers on Swift objects/cont/account.

Chmouel.

[1] Great feature to have by the way across multiple services this
would be nice to do grouping like that.
