Actually, the album is very important too. The album as a whole makes a story and by tagging photos you can make up actors of that story. For example, what about if album is "actors of porn movie X" or something like (the title of album could be more innocent) and one of photos in that album has you tagged?

Regarding sharing, why would you want to tag somebody with his/her public profile without even telling him/her that?

I went to see a live act on the night of my drunken party. I liked the singer's music and want to remember who they are later. I really don't think the singer needs to have access to my photo album from that night.

The album is only relevant if you create your albums based on context. I don't take that many pictures any more and so most of my albums are based on dates. For example I have an album that contains all pictures from January 2011, there's about 15 pictures in it and they are from 3 different events. Having access to the album does't provide any additional benefit to the people in the pictures because only two or three of the other 14 pictures would be relevant to them in the first place.
