I've spent a little time thinking about tag-based font selection (as in
Web tags, folksonomies, etc) and that fonts could even come with some
tags in them.

For sure CSS should not define such a taxonomy, because people don't
agree on them, but a mechanism to share taxonomies (probably with a
well-defined mapping to an RDF model) might work.
