I thought this way too, until I read a comment from someone else that said part of face tagging is allowing one generation to identify the next...as in, if we took the photo we'll know who's in it, but what about 100 years from now when we're dead? I have old photos I've scanned where I have no clue who the person is...so this is a real problem. I think specific, coordinate-based face tagging is important for the industry to come to an agreement on.
