Great. Yeah, though with the greyed out crosses hopefully it isn't too 
noticeable.

Yes, it removes it via an AJAX call. This is especially important in 
BioCatalogue since in the service show page there are tag clouds for: 
the service itself, all operations, all inputs and all outputs - 
potentially many tag clouds, so easy to get confused if the page reloads 
constantly.

I still show the "Are you sure you want to delete?" message, just in 
case. If this turns out to be superfluous then we can remove it later.

Yeap, I agree that the same UI should be used in myExp. The backend code 
is very different though, since this works on top of the Annotations 
plugin (all tags in the system are stored as annotations), but shouldn't 
be especially difficult to do in myExp.

Cheers,
Jits
