Exactly. I don't care about the specific implementation (and org makes a
lot of my previous uses superflous). TAGs in the above sense – however
implemented – would allow for fine grain control of the output. For
example different classes of footnotes with latex/bogfoot or specific
handling of citations.

Readability is not the issue, imo, because currently my workaround would
be to put the whole paragraph in a latex source block – which certainly
doesn't improve readability. Tagged text, on the other hand, should and
could definity allow for its own on screen display.

What is an issue is that (apart from property/source blocks and
emphasis) org text is pretty much plain. TAGs could impair that.
Currently migrating from muse to org I can certainly attest that any
»special handling« certainly impairs portability.
