Exactly. Instead of being able to drill down, I'm proposing just  
allowing the 'top level' to be displayed.

Yep.

1) Each article would have the list of tags it's tagged with -  
following a single tag link would lead to the list of articles that  
are also tagged with <whatever>.

2) We can also add a tag cloud to show the entire list of tags. I was  
thinking a block to show tags across all readable internal channels -  
and a smaller cloud on the article view to show tags available within  
only that channel.  An alternative instead of the cloud would be a  
more traditional list, with number of articles after the tag.


...all just thoughts at the moment. More than happy to do the whole  
navigation thing, I just wasn't sure of the usefulness in this case.

Thanks,
mike
