Just learned about the W3C Selectors API from Simon's blog. Turns out a native implementation is forthcoming in Firefox 3.1 (as well as Opera, IE 8, and WebKit), but in the meantime many Javascript libraries already implement the spec, Mootools, jQuery, and Prototype to name a few.
WebKit provides a speed test of a native implementation of querySelectorAll vs popular Javascript libraries (obviously the native implementation won't work for you unless you're using a Firefox beta). It's based on Mootools' test.
Lifehacker: Featured Firefox Extension: TagSifter Slices and Dices Your Bookmarks by Tag. I like the tag expression syntax they have. muffins - (cookies + brownies) ?donuts (?donuts means "the URL contains 'donuts').
People have proposed a tag query syntax.
I guess this is obvious, but the reason tags are so powerful and have caught on so much is that tags are sets whereas "folders" are trees, and sets ⊃ trees.
