@michellemho do you think you could take a stab at this?

I think the best approach would be something like how we do QuantileColumns, which is just a wrapper of the Columns task in us.census.acs.

Characteristics of margin of error (MoE) columns

There should be one MoE column per original column in the Census Columns() task
Name should be 'Margin of error for ' + <name of original column>
ID should be <id of original column> + '_moe'
target should be the original column, with a reltype of "margin_of_error"
should add a new "margin_of_error" tag and apply it to these columns, alongside the standard US and census license/source tags we already apply to the original columns

Don't worry about linking these to a TableTask yet.
