Not really: I don't think I want to create collections for each 
"Important tag". Besides, we have only 7 selectable colors right now. 
It's OK if collections are big blocks and supposed to be few but tags 
tend to me more numerous.

OK, that last point pretty much kills my request: if the tags are 
numerous (and being numerous is what makes them interesting), then 
attempt to display them on the lozenge is likely to be inadequate...

Conclusion: don't try to get tags displayed on the lozenge. If a tag is 
that important, it makes sense to elevate it to the rank of collection. 
You're right.

Cheers,
