Absolutely. This thread started with contexts, which is where my comments were focussed, but multiple tags are useful for lots of other things as well. One example that comes up a lot for me is that I frequently get interrupted in the middle of completing a task and cannot immediately come back to it. I would love to have a "half-finished" tag I could slap on the task WITHOUT having to change anything else about where I've slotted the task into my system. That way, I could quickly find tasks that are already started so that I could wrap them up. I could use "flag" for this, but I already use "flag" for something else.
