Foreign keys, imho, are a really good thing for a database. While they may not seem terribly important at first, consider your statement of "(if I write the applications accordingly)". I note the plural here and point out that foreign keys would centralize your data referencing, so you could write your application in 10 different languages and the data relationships would still say the same. Given the somewhat heterogeneous web development environment people see today (I've seen PHP and Java for example), it makes it a good idea as any to use the table.
