Re: [netmod] [Gen-art] Genart last call review of draft-ietf-netmod-module-tags-06

[I covered this in the previous reply I just sent, and updated the model text in response too..]

The intent here is to not restrict users of tags where we don't have to. The prefix is only intended to avoid collision between disconnected groups (designers, implementers and users), since users are the final group to add/modify/use the tags we don't need to restrict them (and so we shouldn't).

Thanks,
Chris.
