You're right; the wording does need updated a little to advise about the 
approval needed for new tags.

We don't really plan on "limiting" the number of tags, per se, but we do want 
to keep people from spamming the site with tags as well as prevent obscene or 
objectional tags from showing up, thus the approval period.  We'd also like 
to the set of tags to get "normalized" so they carry more weight; lots of 
tags with only one project isn't that helpful, but only a few tags with lots 
of projects isn't either - we're looking for a happy-medium.
