Fair enough, but source files are a very, very different case than
`plain text files.' Having a standard tag syntax for source files would
be very worthwhile, especially since source files are likely to form the
bulk of what gets stored in arch archives.
[Typical source files are COMPLETELY CHOCK FULL of meta-data of one sort
or another (copyrights, license info, hints to editors, history
information, RCS tags, etc, etc, etc), and no one blinks an eye.
Id-tagging info is no different.]
