I mean that tags are usually used to describe what the data *is*, whereas
keys are usually used to describe what the data is for. For instance, one
might have a map like:
{:created-date #inst "2015-09-07T12:30:00.000Z"
:modified-date #inst "2015-09-07T13:00:00.000Z"}
The tags describe what the values are: instances in time. The keys describe
what the data is for: to record when the entity was created and modified.
In the same way, I'd consider variants another way of connecting a data
value with an indicator of its purpose.
