LJSV-1068
LJ just unveiled two features I've wanted here but haven't known how to implement, which are a tag list on the update page, and searching for multiple tags using AND instead of OR.
For the first, am I to assume that the new update page will support this, so we don't need to bother with trying to patch the feature into the old update page? Or perhaps rather that the new update page won't support it immediately, but it will be such a radical change that we shouldn't even bother working on it until then? (I really want this ASAP, and it has appeared on "most wanted".)
For the second, should we roll our own fix adopting LJ's URL syntax, or attempt a codemerge? Here's the syntax for those who missed the announcement:
http://username.livejournal.com/tag/tag1,tag2?mode=and
http://username.livejournal.com?tag=tag1,tag2&mode=and
The URL syntax was what bogged us down on that bug, and this seems like a reasonable solution, plus it's what users of both sites will come to expect.
Links to our Bugzilla:
http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581 (for the tag list)
http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1585 (for multiple tag search)

We could probably take the implementation for AND-tags (maybe, I haven't looked at it) but I don't like that syntax much. I definitely think the GUI suggestion is a good one, but we should also have a URL that is memorable and easy enough for people who want to do so.
