It's worth noting that there is already something of a de facto tag structure in SpotMeta (http://www.fluffy.co.uk/spotmeta/spotmeta_org.html). SpotMeta hasn't been updated for Leopard (the COM swizzling stuff has stopped working) but it's under the GPL.
I don't like encoding datatypes in keywords (it reminds me of very heated discussions with certain DB admins in my WebObjects days). I was thinking of a set of defined keywords and using a plist (traditional or xml) to encode the values with. That's a lot more flexible. And if you use a schema, you will also have localised names of keywords. That can be handy if you need to populate a user interface where you need to display attributes that are out of your control.
