This is probably best done via a config switch, probably  
per-application. Some applications absolutely require it (Trean is one  
since it uses it as primary storage). A Null driver, or disabling it  
in the registry probably wouldn't be a good overall solution since we  
would still need to disable the UI components that rely on it; It  
doesn't make any sense to allow input of tags when they are not going  
to be persisted to storage. Of course, we can do an additional check,  
in addition to the config switch, for Content being available and  
disable the UI for either case.

Another option is what Ansel does, it allows basic usage of tags but  
disables the more resource intensive operations like tag browsing.
