If you want to automatically delete tags in catalogs that aren't
actually used anywhere in your document, you could use external
utilities:

- For Windows, you can take a look at Caxton's Xtras utilities
  DocTools and TemplateTools ($199):
  http://www.caxton-inc.com/xtras.html#doctools

- For Windows and Mac, you can also use Systec's Toolbox (cost unknown):

  http://www.systec-gmbh.com/pdfs/bf20us.pdf

- There are also FrameScripts available for this ($150 + $150):
  http://www.frameexpert.com/scripts/scriptlist.html

- For UNIX, you can use my free MIF scripts to clean out, report, print
  out, and compare all formats in a document or book:

If there's interest, I could port these scripts to platform-independent
Perl scripts.
