The obvious thing to build on top of these (long-desired) methods is
some sort of graphical machine tag browser, a bit like the Mac OS X /
iPod column view browser. So I did.

http://husk.org/code/machine-tag-browser.html

This is entirely self-contained in one file (except for loading jQuery
from Google and (cough) the pulser from Flickr). It uses JavaScript to
get a full list of namespaces, giving you the option to drill down
into predicates and the values available for that namespace/predicate
pair.

There are still a couple of issues (mainly to do with click handling)
and there's also a list of features I want to add, but I think it's
solid enough for me to mention it to the list.

I've also added it to github, if anyone feels like contributing:

As Aaron said, "enjoy!"
