Have you thought about tag storage format ? I have not read any mention of that in this thread, so I suggest using the Fotonotes XML format [1] which is as close as a common image location tagging format as we have. Flickr implementing a derivative of Photonotes [2] is endorsement enough that Fotonotes has the potential.

The best thing place to store that data would be in the JPEG header. That way, the embedded location tagging metadata would follow the image wherever it goes, whatever the tool used. I can very well imagine the Gallery Tagface module using that information.
