Obviously. :-)

Nope. It was a patch for ETM, definitely not related.

Yes, they definitely are for me. Since I see things from the application point 
of view, having a set of data I can inject is an important feature for me. 
Currently the workflow which would help would be the following:
 * Be able to create tags (including types, potentially hierarchy) from 
akonadiconsole;
 * Be able to attach tags to items from akonadiconsole;
 * Get the tags and the items to tags links serialized in the knut resource 
XML;
 * At load time have the knut resource get that information from the XML and 
restore it.

That would make it possible to create data sets for repeatable integration or 
full-stack tests through akonaditest. The workflow above is basically how I 
created the data sets I'm using ATM (I did some hand editing since then for 
fine tuning, but for larger scale changes this tooling is very convenient).

I'm running in this kind of issues more and more as I'm getting to features 
involving tags. Actually tried to start something yesterday but got almost 
blocked on that.
In the meantime I think I'll just hard code the creation of a few tags and 
attach them to known items from the C++ harness code, but that looks wrong of 
foreign next to the rest can only be a temporary solution.

Regards.
