Another item crosses content types.

For the special tags for views, is the set small enough that you could switch them out of the taxonomy system and make them a controlled set of options in a cck field? In D5 you could then use cck_permissions to limit access to that field to staff -- I think access control is built in for D6 (but not sure). That might mean lots of editing older content to use that new field, though. Then build new views to slice and dice around that field. I've used this especially when there are nodes suitable for the terms of the vocabulary--instead of a text field I use a node-reference, sometimes with a view to generate the available nodes to reference. Patrick Wow big big fun for you!
