* allow you to make entire bookmark tags locked or private ("don't show anyone that I have a bookmark tag of 'sex'")
This confused me.
My assumptions - correct me if I'm wrong - about current usage of tags is that the visibility of the tag is the highest visibility of any entry you've tagged with it. So if you only tagged private entries with a tag, then the tag itself is private; if you tagged some private and some access-only entries, then the tag is access-only; and if you tagged even one public entry with the tag, then the tag is public.
I expected bookmark tags to be similar -- if I only save private bookmarks with a given tag, then I want that tag to be private, too. (In this case, it depends on the visibility of the bookmark, which can be separate from that of the entry, as per "allow to set a certain bookmark to private/access/custom security, in which case no-one should see that the user bookmarked that item except the people in that group" and existing memories usage.)
Then if I don't want anyone to see that I have a tag "sex", I just need to make sure to select private visibility for each bookmark that I bookmark-tag "sex".
On the other hand, if I create publicly-visible bookmarks tagged "sex", but I made the tag locked or private - then what's the point of having the bookmarks be public? How would other users be able to find them if the tag "sex" doesn't appear in my list of bookmark tags?
In other words, I would suggest tying visibility of a tag to visibility of bookmarks using that tag.
However, I'm not against making the default visibility of a tag more restrictive than the default visibility of the bookmarks using that tag; more privacy is generally good.
