I totally agree. I think it's very convenient to sharpen the selection
by selecting more tags: When one tag has too many articles, I want to
select another tag and only get those articles that have both.

For the far future, I'd love to have some sort of ad-hoc hierarchy in
this way: When I select one tag, I'd like to see all tags that appear in
conjunction with the current one, i.e., only those that would have a
result when used in intersection with the current one.

Cheers,
