Tagging windows with arbitrary tags sounds pretty painful to me.
It is easy to press or invoke a tag sending a window to a
specific page (that is like a tag) and you don't have to think
about how you call the tag, because a page is associated with a
number.

With this in mind, we already got 'dynamic pages' in my eyes,
though I considered a completely different idea, namely to
destroy empty pages automatically without the exception of page
0. But on the other hand it would force the dynamic concept
completely on a page level and Machnus for example won't be able
to keep up his static environment where a specific page contains
specific clients for a special task ...
