Possibly. But the point here is to show all of the possible values *together*.
You don't want to click a button/link and open *Help* for each possible value,
to see its Lisp value separately from the others.
A single display of all tags and their Lisp values (in *Help* or elsewhere) is
what's needed. See the original suggestion.
