I can see how that would be nice for grouping certain windows together,
though, I think that we are talking about 2 different things.

I use <Ctrl><End> to move windows to the lower right hand corner of my
screen.   For tvtime, as an example, I want to use <Ctrl><End> to move
it to the lower right hand corner of the screen AND resize it, but I
don't necessarily want to resize say a terminal window.

I don't follow quite how these tags will accomplish that, unless you
use the tags in place of the default application stuff from X.  A
simpler way would be to set the default tag as one of those application
stuff that X already uses.
