Well, as I see it, we do have this hashtable, it is the current
name-value support.

tags are an independent namespace, that's right, but do we really need
to assign values to tags? Right now the patterndb concept links tags and
name-value pairs together: the name of a tag is the same as the prefix
of the associated name-value pairs.

I don't really see the immediate benefit, but I might be missing
something.
