What's that line from Apollo 13 again? "I don't care what it was designed to do, I only care what it *can* do", or something? :-) I think it very much depends on your workflow. For my work, I find thinking of the tags as separate desktops is usually the way that I end up using them (occasionally I display multiple tags at the same time, but I don't think of that as being something I do regularly). I think that's mostly, perhaps, since my aggression in cleaning up unneeded clients has increased in recent times (although that's also helped by limiting myself to 4 tags (dev, web, communication, hotfix)). I'm not averse to either tags-as-tags or tags-as-desktops. Do what makes sense for your situation. I'm not even sure what I do, since I seem to do both.
