My biggest issue with the luggage tag knot is the difficulty of getting them off. I ran across this technique which intrigues me.
http://sailing.about.com/od/equipmentgear/ss/softshacklehowto.htm#step1 Also thinking about the soft shackles as well. Either way, I really hate running forward to clear a bowline off the shrouds during a tack, something will get done this spring.

Thanks for some confirmation on their use for attaching the heads sails. This will be the next upgrade for Arpeggio.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Soft shackle I have the APSltd brand on Touché'. Excellent upgrade. Headsail virtually zips through the fore triangle now. Before, the bowlines hung up on the forward lower shrouds. I bought new VPC sheets with eyes on each end along with the soft shackles.
