Ideas to Improve Tagging of photos in PSE Organizer

Question

I've been using PSE since V2 and recently upgraded from PSE 11 to PSE 13. While PSE is solid and has some nice new features, it's apparent after some use that my hopes that manual face tagging would be greatly improved were not realized.  I take some responsibility for this as I've grumbled about the unnecessary steps and lack of features in this area and have been silent.  So, I have some suggestions which would be really, really nice to see in an update to the Photoshop Elements Organizer.
The thrust of this posting is to improve manual tagging of pictures:  Steps one does to augment tagging after "Add People" and "Add Places" has been used.
Please let me know what you think of this list and I'll submit a revised version as a development suggestion.  Which ideas are good?  workable?  Which ones are half baked?  Have I missed features that already exist so these suggestions are unnecessary?
Recently Used tags:
When tagging a set of pictures it is highly likely to reuse tags across many pictures.
If the tags are from many areas in the tag group structure it requires opening and closing parts of the group tree to access the tags.  This is arduous if one has a large number of tags.
Recommend providing a "Recently Used Tags" in the list of tag sections below Keywords, People, Places, and Events.
Recently used tags should provide a lot of tags in Most Recently Used order - 100 at a minimum.  Tagging weddings and other group events involve using a lot of tags.
Recently used tags should include all types of tags - people, places, events, etc.
This approach would be beneficial when PSE fails to find faces as well as when non-face tags need to be applied to pictures.
Favorite tags:
Add a "Favorites" tag structure along with People, Places, Events, and Recently Used from above.
Allow tags to be assigned to favorites by selecting a tag and right click "Add to Favorites".
Allow tags in Favorites to be reordered by dragging up and down in the list.
Allow tags to be removed from Favorites by selecting the tag with right click "Remove from Favorites".
Adding face tags for faces that were not found (no box on the face) requires way too many steps for a picture selected in the organizer (seven steps).  Today one must:
Press "Mark Face" button.
Drag rectangle placed in upper left to a face.
Size rectangle to the face.
Click in name area below rectangle.
Type beginning of name.
Select name from list
Click green check to confirm selected name.
First suggested alternative for face tagging (3 steps):
Right (or left) click and drag to create rectangle on face - Organizer recognizes this operation and marks face and opens name box below.
Type beginning of name in name box.
Select name from list.  When name is selected it is confirmed - no green check to confirm selected name.  In the unlikely event one incorrectly selects a name it can always be corrected or the face box removed.
Second suggested approach to quick face tagging:
Open one Tags/Info and expand one of the tag structures: People, Places, Events, Recently Used tags, or Favorites and navigate to a tag.
Drag a tag (that is a person) into a unassigned facial recognition box.  This completes the face tag.
If no box exists for a face, right click and drag a tag to a face.  The default sized square is created on center of release point at end of drag and the tag is assigned to the face.  Allow the user to resize the square to margins of face and hit enter to complete tag.  Using right click for this process differentiates a new face tag from the standard left click which assigns the tag to the photo or an empty face tag box.
This approach requires one or two steps per tag unless the tag needs to be located in the tag strucure.
Other photo tagging issues:
Do not suggest a person for a face tag if they are already face tagged on the picture as they probably aren't in two places on the same picture.
When clicking on a blank name for an empty face tag PSE provides a list of names that is barely wide enough for 3 names.  A larger list of suggested names should be provided - it could extend beyond the entry area for the name and below it.  If face recognition does find a good match PSE should include in the list any people tags which are assigned to the photo but have not been tagged to a face.  Anyone having used PSE for a long period of time likely has many pictures which are tagged with people but are not face tagged.  This approach would reduce the effort in selecting a person.
Sometimes a lot of non-faces are detected in a picture.  Removing these boxes requires separate clicks on each box's 'X'.   Suggest a context menu on the photo, 'Remove unused face tags' to clear them' in one step.
I'd appreciate all ideas and suggestions.  In advance, thanks!
