Wow.  Wouldn't this be great if it worked?  Since I know little or
nothing about Bayesian filtering but much about package Descriptions,
let me hazard a prediction (which you should not believe): a well-tuned,
fully developed AI system, incorporating the particular Bayesian
training suggested, will achieve 92 % tagging accuracy.

I wish that I were smart enough to code this AI thingie.
