 * Thanks, this is pretty cool. I’d be interested in tinkering with your code for
   category-specific tag viewing if you think it might be worthwhile. That’s pretty
   much exactly what I’d be looking to do with my site.

 * Thanks, I’ve seen that already. The article is one of the only sources of information
   on the mechanism behind tag intersections and unions, but it doesn’t explain (
   to me anyway) how to put these things into practise.
 * A fairly simple example to work through would involve displaying a useful description
   of the intersection/union being viewed i.e. “Currently displaying Tag X and Tag
   Y” as a title. The WP core provides a tamplate tag for single tag titles, but
   nothing for multiple tags.
 * Is this kind of thing purposefully left to plugin authors I wonder?

   looking for a solution to this kind of issue, try this hack out:

 * Right now, when I change the page/post slug, WP successfully redirects. When 
   I change a category, it does not, so there are limitations to the build-in redirection.
 * I suppose that in an ideal world I could change the category slug and have the
   same behavior take place as with the page/post. I wonder if this is in the pipe
   for future WP versions?

 * Simply put, how robust is the new feature? Can I rely on links redirecting in
   the future, or will the slug forwarding get wiped anytime I update my permalinks?
   Anyone?

 * I believe I had to tweak something in this plugin to cure the difficulty… every
   now and then I get the infuriating “Are you sure?” page of DOOM but it happens
   infrequently now.

   beyond 2.0.9.

 * One last push, for I know many WP users must be linking their blogs up with external
   sites… though this may be a support forum I figure it couldn’t hurt to have a
   discussion as well 🙂
