#213: Save tags automatically

Pros:
* Virtually no interaction necessary to save tags
* "Virtually" since it would be very slow if we save after each
keypress, so when do we save? We'll need to take into account normal
typing, middle-click paste, Ctrl-V paste, right-click paste, and
drag-n-drop across browsers and platforms. Does anyone know of a simple
way to do this?
Cons:
* Users are not used to this type of interaction
* Unless it is completely clear when tags are saved, they may navigate
away and wonder why their last modification was not saved.
* Users expect a Save / Submit button at the end of each form, and may
assume that the form is defect without trying it.
* Undo would have to be implemented separately (ouch!). On the web, people
"know" that navigating away from the page leaves data unsaved.
* In summary, much more complex code and beginner user interaction.
Non-issues:
* Clicking a link navigates away from the form, but since we're not
modifying the form on load it will still contain the same data if the user
uses the Back button.
