Moving interesting and ignored tags to a tag hover menu

I'm in the process of customizing the tag handling for the default skin in my site to make it behave more like delicious.com (and hopefully merge upstream eventually if the new functionality is desired). The last piece is the handling of the interesting and ignored tags feature in the sidebar. I can't think of an easy way to integrate it into the sidebar, so I'm proposing putting it in a tag "hover menu" for each tag displayed in the site. This is similar to what happens in stack overflow when you hover over a tag, and see the followers, more detailed info, etc.

I'm willing to code this change, but I wanted to run it by the community first. I think this is a little more usable too, not requiring the user to re-type the tag to add it to the favorites or ignored list. I think it will also provide a space for further features for tags without taking up more screen real estate.
