Ah...

Multiple databases. Hadn't thought of this. I'd figured on just  
adding tons of stuff in the single database, with filed grouped  
together. Your idea makes upgrading sound particularly interesting.

As for tagging, I'm handling it different than labeling. With  
labeling, I've got color codes for items to read and items read. Also  
have a label for items that I've actually highlighted content in or  
somehow otherwise annotated. That is so far helpful for me, as I only  
highlight or mark up some documents, not all.

Also, if you do CMD+I on a document, there's an info panel that comes  
up. It has a comment field and I can add tags there.

Again, having some kind of personal taxonomy list (similar to what's  
used on Flickr for tags) would be great.

As for multiple databases, when you're using the DevonThink service  
to copy content from one app to a DevonThink page (rich text or  
ascii), how do you specify the DB if you've got more than one? Do  
they allow for that? Or, can you shift files from one DB to another  
from a right-click option?

And wouldn't it be great if DevonThink had del.icio.us integration?

This app isn't 100% killer at this point, but it does 75% of the  
heavy lifting I'm looking for in a PIM and points clearly to the 25%  
that's missing that would make it even more useful.
