O.K. here is what I said: "My map has the following numbers next to it: (78, 168, 56), meaning that I have 78 unique URLs tagged with a total of 168 tags, but only 56 of those are unique." So by unique I mean they don't always appear with some other tag (which is I think what you also mean). So I conclude that there is "a selected set of tags which in some sense dominates the others". The sense(s) or the semantics of the dominance relation is not entirely clear as far as I can see. I am hoping it does fit the definition! O.K. here is what I said:

The third number in the map represents the number of 'Main Tags'. Now a main tag is a tag that is not contained properly as a sub tag of any other tag. I am not sure if your description fits this definition. And indeed yes, there are many different strategies that people follow in tagging. Interesting analysis.
