No, no, the implemented behaviour is exactly what I want. Only the
explicitly listed tags are allowed. So, I'm fine with the implementation
status-quo. But I thought I remember that *you* wanted to allow even
*unknown* (i.e. not explicitly configured) tags and I was surprised this
evening to discover that this is not what got actually implemented. So,
from my point of view: KEEP THE IMPLEMENTATION AS IS. But I was under
the impression that *YOU* originally wanted something different. Or I at
least misunderstood your original intentions ;-)
