The I-D talks about tags for YANG _modules_, you are talking about
tags for YANG data nodes and you seem to imply that these tags are
associated to instance data and that they can be used in protocol
operations. (And then I note we already have metadata that can be
associated to instance data. And there was Andy's packages work, which
can be seen as another way to tag collections of schema nodes.)

So yes, there is a need to agree on what the problem is that is to be
solved (and to consider how solutions fit into the framework we
already have in place).
