I have this implemented locally, by auto creating tags on upload from  
user-defined Exif fields.  Before I commit this, I wanted feedback on  
an idea I had to make this more flexible.

My idea is to add a tag_type field to both the galleries_tags and  
images_tags tables.  This would be used to indicate tags that  
represent special values, such as dates, or lat/long coordinates for  
geotagging etc..  The idea is we could use this data to know how to  
display the tag (dates could be displayed in the user's date_format  
pref for instance - lat/long could possibly be displayed as an actual  
location string  if we can hook into an api to do the lat/long  
translation, or maybe just a "dot" on a google map widget etc...)

Anyway, that's the general idea, thoughts/comments/WTFs?
