Aloha Carsten,

Thanks for looking into this.  I'm trying to document the different  
ways to export part of an org file to LaTeX in the hope of augmenting  
the tutorial on Worg.  I thought I understood the tag selection logic,  
so the results I got puzzled me.  Now that I know the expected  
behavior, I'll look more closely to see why I'm not getting it.   
Hopefully, I'll be able to puzzle it through myself and won't have to  
pester you and the list with my idea of a minimal .emacs, etc.  I  
appreciate your offer to take another look if I'm not successful.

All the best,
Tom
