I could imagine something like syntax-highlighting in the tag-pane. I.e. 
if the key (or key=value combination) is recognized, the text becomes 
bold, or gets a different color.

But if this is done, the whitelist should be as complete as possible and 
include all tags that are documented on the wiki. Do we have this data 
available?
