I think so.
My impression is that the present normal tags are approaching their
limit. A multi-level normal tag will probably be longer text, and one
core assumption of normal tags is that it is reasonable to display them
and simply append them to the end of the headline text. With longer
tags and multiple tag contexts I expect this to soon cause problems that
are much more severe than just the problem of tag specification.
Since there exists the properties capability, a more complex structure
that is used in searches and display could be built upon that.
