At UKTV we use tags with several purposes: to classify content, and as part of selectors. Currently tagman is not able to tell the two types apart, meaning that when we retrieve tagged content it also gives us back all selectors, and we have to weed them out by excluding specific models. This is a bit clumsy, and does not support having both types of usages in the same model.
By being able to qualify a tag with its usage, we could do all this filtering within tagman in a model-agnostic way.
