Tagging individual List items
First of all, great site, Sandy helps me every day, awesome job!
I would love to be able to add tags to individual items within a list and have only that item be tagged, for example:
#1 Wood working project @projects
* Determine amount of wood required @computer
* Call Lumber store @Phone calls
* Buy lumber @errands
in this example, Sandy wood tag the entire list to a projects tag, then tag the first item "determine... required" to a computer tag, the second item to a @Phone call tag and so on.
This would allow me to have Sandy Lookup all my phone calls at a glance yet still organize the project actions into one List. This is right along to lines of David Allen's "Getting things Done" methodology, which I'm a fan of.
Thanks for the great site! Keep up the excellent work!

Inappropriate?You can do everything you're asking by tagging individual items with multiple tags.
remember to Determine amount of wood required @wood_project2 @computer
remember to Call Lumber store @wood_project2 @"Phone calls"
remember to Buy lumber @wood_project2 @errands
Tags can be used to make an item part of two different lists. My example uses the tag @wood_project2 to group all the items in the project together. The tag "wood_project2" will appear in the tag cloud. You can click on it and all the items with that tag will appear. You can have multiple projects, each with items tagged with @"phone call" or @computer, etc. Click on the "computer" tag and it will list all items of all projects that have the "computer" tag.
A tag can contain spaces, but then you have to be careful to put all the words of the tag in quotes. Your example has the tag @Phone calls. But this won't work. You'd have to type @"Phone calls".
You can also use the "remember +" power move to create all your items at once as if they were a list. All *tags* on the first line are *added* to all items in the list. All text and dates on the first line are *replaced" by any text or date in a list item. (See http://iwantsandy.com/lists ) The following example creates the same items as the example above. (Although I use the tag "wood working project2" instead of "wood_project2")
remember @"wood working project2" +
* Determine amount of wood required @computer
* Call Lumber store @"Phone calls"
* Buy lumber @errands
