Tagging UI control

[Mike Hearn]

I've not encountered one, but building such a thing should be quite
straightforward. You could use CSS to create a text-area like rectangle
with an HBox inside it, and then have a no-border textedit that simply
expands to fill the available space. When the user presses enter you create
an appropriately styled label with the contained text and insert it to the
left of the edit in the hbox. Tweak CSS and spacing and you have a basic
tagging control.
