It's not enabled because ArgoUML's tagged value implementation isn't
complete yet.  It's still following the UML 1.3 spec where the only
type allowed for TaggedValues is String instead of the UML 1.4 spec
where the user can specify the type of the value.

Types are actually quite valuable because it allows the UI to, for
instance, restrict a user to specifying one of the boolean values True
or False instead of having to count on them to type out the string
value "true" or "false" (and perhaps putting something completely
invalid).  This assist is used by things like the AndroMDA profiles.
