be in the list.

comment from a reader: use "element" instead of "tag" when referring

to the semantic object; tags delimit elements, and using the two words
interchangeably engenders confusion. (This is akin to using "handler" and
"interrupt" interchangeably.)

reply from the author: This is true, but it's the common usage.
