I have an idea that's more flexible. And it will allow "select as answer".
My idea is to allow special status-tags (status indicators). So, for example, I'd like to create some special tags like: "In-Progress" "Resolved" "Research-phase" "Answered" "Unanswered" let me mark a discussion with one of those status-tags, and then in the summary view, I'd be able to see what discussions have what status. Also, allow me to "search" and "filter" my view based on these status-tags. Based on status, you can also display some special icon, color-code etc. to easily mark a discussion message.
I think tags like "Announcement" "New" are already treated in a special way. This is just an extension of that.

BTW, you entered natural phrase include spaces as Tags? :-)
