Both, I think.
The tagging documentation could be clearer, and probably it should
avoid the word "inherited" because I think that may have misled you.
On the other hand, I think your expectations are incorrect. It is
"enclosed" objects that are documented to also get tagged, and I would
not consider a node definition to be "enclosed by" another that
inherits from it.
