Because once the data hits SC it's all the same. Knowing that it works
for one type of tag and not for another helps a lot in narrowing down
the real issue.

What I believe Ben was alluding to is the fact that you're asking for
major changes to How Things Work Now(tm). In your eyes these changes
are valid, and they very well may be (I'm not taking sides), but anyone
who writes software knows that if you fix something for one person five
others will complain that you broke it for them. Not just because they
maybe liked the behaviour you consider broken, but also because any
major change will, like it or not, have knock on effects which we
haven't fully understood ahead of time. 

I write all of this to try and explain why there needs to be a lot of
discussion and back-and-forth before anything is actually done, and why
sometimes what seem like minor changes aren't considered such by the
devs. This isn't a reason not to change things which are broken, but it
is a reason to think twice (or three times) before jumping.
