Nope - lack of time, energy, inclination, knowledge are all possible.

Have you tried a setup file?

tag.org:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TAGS: one two three
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


and the "real" file is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+SETUPFILE: tag.org

#+TAGS: foo bar baz

* two
* four
* three                                                                                                        :bar:baz:
* one                                                                                                              :foo:
* five                                                                                                         :foo:baz:

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
org-tag-alist
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
| one      |
| two      |
| three    |
| :newline |
| foo      |
| bar      |
| baz      |

everything plus :newline (whatever that is).
