An empty SELECT_TAGS selects everything I believe:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+SELECT_TAGS:
* a
:export:
* b
* c
* d
:export:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Then you can comment it out to get just the :export:ed headlines.
But a semantically meaningful tag seems better to me.
