The whole process of using those features would be much simpler. (I myself am to lazy to tag many files with Dolphin after they are saved, but I think I would tag them when I enter the filename.)

I fully agree. It was even already started in GSoC 2009. Sadly we never
got it to a point where it was stable and usable enough. But the plan is
there.

It would be a blast (or in promo language "a great selling point") to "share" the tags/comments so my co-workers can use and edit them, too. When I search a document or some information I am not always looking for my own files.

This is much trickier but also on the todo already. The first step will
be sharing of stuff. Then tags for example will be in both systems.
Then the idea is to allow other people to query some of the information
on your system and to allow them to read it.
But the groupware approach which stores information on a server is
another question and much harder to integrate with the existing solutions.

Nonetheless the goal is there. :)
