At first sight I'd say that using objects (including current tag

The second
proposal is a temporary hack for hiding documents. The idea
is to add a new field in the XWikiDocument class, 'hidden', which will
be automatically used in searchDocuments and countDocuments to filter
out special documents. This is a workaround until we will be able to
tag
special documents or spaces, and will allow to create special
documents
needed for an application inside the main application's space, instead
of the generic XWiki space. Such hidden pages won't appear in normal
search results, the index page or the navigation panel.
-0 (close to -1) till you explain what is wrong with the solution
below :)
This could also be implemented using a special Tag (like:
"xwiki:hidden" for example).
I was going to say: "In general I think we need the ability to add
generic metadata to a document.". however this already exists: it's
called Objects! :)
So I think instead of adding more and more fixed metadata we might
instead want to use Objects. Either reuse the existing Tag or create a
new Visibility class/objects.
What are the cons of using Objects for this feature?
