Warning: I do not want to disappoint you later by ripping out this as
the tag UI changes in other ways. For instance, if the list is replaced
by a tag cloud (such as the widget in paperbox[1]), then the option to
turn off variable sizing becomes less relevant.
I would say you can do this if you want, but be aware that the tag UI
could change sufficiently to make these settings redundant in the
future. If you do decide to go ahead then the tab should be called
"User interface", and the checkboxes should go under a heading called
"Tagging".

1. I've actually done a very basic version of integrating that widget
into referencer on my local branch.
