I guess what I'm trying to ask is whether this tags
approach results in different (or differently structured)
final documents being produced, or whether it's just a
different mechanism that gives the same end result.

I think I was looking at the sketch you had in a previous
email rather than the more fleshed-out code in the git repo.

Well, I'm also a bit biased here, in that this is v3 of this
patchset that's been on the list using this approach for
a month, and I was planning to apply it to master today
so that it could be in before the softfreeze on Tuesday
next week. So late-breaking suggestions for significant
restructurings are essentially saying "we should postpone
this to 4.1" :-(
