Rails - Mar 2006 - acts_as_taggable plugin to tag multiple fields in a model

Hello,

Is it possible to tag multiple fields in a model using either
acts_as_taggable plugin or gem?  If it is not possible out of the box, can
anyone provide pointers on how I would achieve something like that?

Say I have a ''Food'' model which has ''spices''
and ''healthiness'' attributes.
I want to be able to tag on both those fields.  Is that possible?

Thanks,
Vaishal

In case no one replied...

The acts_as_taggable plugin (the one originally written by DHH)  
allows you to tag on any field that''s declared as taggable, and it  
uses a single set of tables for the Tags and Taggings.  However, it  
does require Rails 1.1 as it uses :through to achieve this magic.

The acts_as_taggable gem uses a separate table to hold the tags for  
each model you''re tagging (so you can''t share the vocabulary
among
models).  I believe it works with Rails 1.0.

I chose the plugin because I knew I wanted a shared vocabulary.  YMMV.
