Ok, I think I see what you're saying: the tag only exists on the local box and does not get forwarded in the message. You were saying you have to overwrite the original program with some other value so that the tag is permanent and will survive multiple relays. Sorry for the confusion.
Try to think about the tags as a sticky note on a package. When I want to create a lot of uniform white bag I put a sticky note into it, so I can make a difference between them. But after I write the correct adresses I take off the notes from it. In the example the tag is not surviving the relays, He put the tag _value_ into an another field. Just like if I put some information into the destination address to my mail. But I think that the idea of the persistant tags is great. And in the new syslog protocol there is space for it. I will create a feature request for it. :)
