Acts as Taggable gem springs back to life

Apparently Obie Fernandez is caught up writing a book so he passed the acts_as_taggable gem hat on to Dirk Elmendorf. He's already applied some useful changes and even made the gem safer to use (preveted SQL injection attacks). I have an acts_as_taggable plugin article cooking but now I'm thinking I may switch it over to the gem instead of the plugin. I'm not sure though, I'll tinker with it and whatever seems more benefical I'll use. Either way, it's good to see this project get picked back up again.
