The screenshot looks nice, but you make life hard on yourself using this 
'cooked' approach.
XBoard and WinBoard used to have raw free-format text edits for entering / 
editing tags,
which were then interpreted by the PGN parser on submission.
This would work for all type of tags, even those not known to the parser.
(These are just copied verbatim, if they have the synax of a PGN tag.)

When the interface has to be aware of the tag types, this creates new problems.
E.g. how can the user add a tag of a type that was not there yet?
