Current Progress

There is a functional extension that allows Tagging using the Places API created and available online (started off from mockup).

*For extension, download link and setup instructions are at here. 
*The tagging interaction (textbox to button and vice-versa) can be tested here.

Also, relevant patches are also in the works (if not finished). Bug 374524 and Bug 383803.
