Retrofit entry tag-only interface?

Title:
Retrofit entry tag-only interface?

Area:
entries, tags

Summary:
Retrofit the entry tagging (tag-only) interface to include New Tag Awesomeness, and degrade gracefully to the current interface if the browser doesn't support it.

Description:
I find the autocompleting tag whatsit to be basically the best thing ever, enough that I miss it when using the tag-edit-only interface on entries that need retagging. (Related: I have too many tags.)

Would it be feasible to add the fancy new tag functionality to the entry tagging page?

Some points to consider:

Would it degrade well for devices that just can't cope with the fancy tagging? (If not, it's a non-starter.)
Would it affect the page load significantly on slow connections?
