The problem there is that the half dozen readers of your blog don't have a loud enough collective voice to be heard. The tagged address mechanism needs to become a standard extension of mail with support to associate each tag with an address book entry. The biggest block currently is that ISPs would need to support wildcard addresses before this is usable by the public at large that don't run their own mail servers.
