It seems to me this is a perfect use for a wiki
I've opened a page at
http://tw-curricuwiki.wikispaces.com/xmcakeywords
with all the keywords proposed up to this post from Elinami
They're alphabetized, which should help against duplication
Anyone can jump in and add keywords, and see what's already there.

I've just added "genre," but I'll have more later.
