I'm inclined to go ahead and push the patch (along with a followup to
fix an IE compatibility issue), with the notion that you, Stephen, and
Nicolas will hash out UI changes.

While I agree that the search results page should have no more clutter
than required, I'm not sure about exiling batch operations to the the
carts and list interface.  Doing that adds a navigation step and makes
it less likely that a user will figure that the batch operation can be
done in the first place.  In the case of tagging, it's my impression
that library catalogs need all the UI support they can get to make it
easy to tag books, as otherwise patrons don't tend to do it at all.

Regards,

Galen
