If we do decide to keep tags up to date in photo files, we will
absolutely update them via a background task: we certainly don't want to
make users wait while that happens!  :)

There's another question here: if we do keep tags in photo files, we
need to decide whether to update master photo files when photos are
tagged, or to create a modified copy of each master solely for the
purpose of holding the tags, even if there are no changes to the image
itself.  It seems wasteful to copy the files just to hold tags: this
will double the library size if every file is tagged.  But, again, some
users might think that the master files are sacred and might not want
even tags written there.
