This is an interesting hack, and it does solve what Eraldo was asking  
for.

However, I also think that using the outline hierarchy to file things
properly, and in this way making use of the existing tag inheritance,
is a very good alternative, as described by Peter Jones and by Manish
earlier in this thread.
