I agree. It's far better than having them invent new tags which
are really just glorified PIs anyway. This confuses the purpose
of tags vs. PIs.

Is a PI legal as an attribute value anywhere ? Where there is
already a 'standard' list of attribute values ?

Absolutely agreed.

True, but it's always a question of getting it implemented in such
a diverse community of developers... *sigh*. One reason that it
might be difficult is that these developers are all trying to "set
a standard" and it is not in their interest to acknowledge mods as
"application-specific".
