			1.1. Some possible use cases of YANG module tags
			During this documents progression there were requests for example
			uses of module tags. The following are a few example use cases for
			tags. This list is certainly not exhaustive.
			One example use of tags would be to help filter different discrete
			categories of YANG modules supported by a device. E.g., if modules
			are suitably tagged, then an XPath query can be used to list all of
			the vendor modules supported by a device.
			Tags can also be used to help coordination when multiple semi-
			independent clients are interacting with the same devices. E.g., one
			management client could mark that some modules should not be used
			because they have not been verified to behave correctly, so that
			other management clients avoid querying the data associated with
			those modules.
			Tag classification is useful for users searching module repositories
			(e.g. YANG catalog). A query restricted to the 'ietf:routing'
			module tag could be used to return only the IETF YANG modules
			associated with routing. Without tags, a user would need to know the
			name of all the IETF routing protocol YANG modules.
			Future management protocol extensions could allow for filtering
			queries of configuration or operational state on a server based on
			tags. E.g., return all operational state related to system-
			management.
