Hi Manuel,

I would not have thought that this would be useful, but the use-case
you describe actually does make sense.  So I am putting these in,
but I will use a keyword

#+FILETAGS:

because #+TAG is just too similar to #+TAGS, and this would
certainly lead.  In know, TAG would be nicely symmetric to PROPERTY,
but still I am choosing the other way.

Thanks for your idea - it will be in the next git push, and part of the
6.04 release.

- Carsten
