I think the most important functionality that you could make is one that actually outputs the tags in a way that the admin can configure. At the moment that is the biggest drawback for the tags functionality, because there are absolutely no options that can help alter the way the tags are displayed. As an example, if I were to output these tags on a news page, it would be nice to have the tags actually link to a search for those individual tags. So something like this:
And 'news' refers to a specific configuration with the same name that you allow your users to define, it'll allow for more potency with the use of keywords and tags.
Also, is the hiding function supposed to stop other users of the admin panel from changing the tag(s) or stop the viewer from seeing the tag echoed on the page?
As for your list, the most important I'd say are:
Code:
<?php get_page_tags('news'); ?>

As for your list, the most important I'd say are:
- Force case insensitivity
- Optional protected read only tags
- Front end tag list or cloud and tag list caching/lookup backends
- Make compatible with all plugins that use a tag field, suggest standardized field class or something
