Not all keyword assignments would constitute a hierarchy.
Yes, I actually noticed that after posting the Meditation. I ended up with some bookmarks arranged similarly to:
I'm not sure what you would call this. After reading the links in your post, I'd be inclined to say it's a hierarchy, but not a well-ordered one. Or maybe a hierarchy is by definition well-ordered, and this is just a crude imitation of one? In any case, it isn't ideal. Perhaps this problem could be solved by counting the frequency of groups rather than just individual tags/keywords?
By the way I belive tags are a fad. What is really needed is full text search for bookmarks (or better for whole browser history).
Perhaps for bookmarks, full text search would be a good way to find a specific bookmark a year after you added it. But that doesn't convince me that keywords or tags are a "fad" that will prove useless. They are a nice way of classifying things, and sometimes classification is actually necessary. Consider an archive of photos. You can't really search the "full body" of a photo, so some sort of classification is required.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
