/*
 * Provide links to commonly-used tags that can be clicked by a user to
 * populate a text field with comma-separated tags (ensuring that no
 * duplicates are entered).
 *
 * This assumes that the text field has an ID of `tag_string` and the links
 * have the class `tag`, e.g.
 *
 *   <input type="text" name="tag_string" id="tag_string" />
 *   <ul>

# Dealing with namespaces in Nokogiri.
#
# First thing you must do is abandon what you're used to with Builder,
# namespaces aren't just attributes on an element, they uniquely identify
# what sort of element you are building and, as such, you are better off
# specifying them manually.
#
# The key here is accessing the Nokogiri::XML::Element being built with
# b.parent, then you can set the namespace (distinguished by an element
# with a prefix such as "soap12:Envelope") or add a default namespace
