Given then - howabout an option in =tagging-method that lets you choose
the tag; something like
tag-regex arch-tag:
Could be:
tag-regex src-uuid-tag:
or
tag-regex bk-tag:|arch-tag:|src-uuid-tag:
(for loonies :O)
This would allow a) migrations from bk'd source, b) people to think of
the tag as _data_ and not CM meta-data.
Oh and it would be backward compatible.
