Custom fields are best for things which don't require special back-end 
support or UI - like "a text box" or "a multi-select". "Keywords" and 
"flags" require a lot more infrastructure than that; I don't think they 
could be instances of custom fields.

Or have I misunderstood you?

Individual keywords and flags couldn't be one custom field each, either 
- that would give b.m.o. over 100 custom fields.
