"reminds me of ex" doesn't apply to item, however.
I don't think I'd force people to create a distinction between public
and private tags, but it would be kind and a good privacy/intellectual
freedom (we're librarians, remember?) tool to offer the option to have
private tags.

I don't think the primary distinction here is between public and private
tags: it's between tagging the Work and the Item (in FRBR terms). It's
not the case that _Pride and Prejudice_ is on the shelf in the dining
room; but _my copy_ of P&P is.
