Out of curiosity: so "pimo:Tag" is then a generic "link" between two
resources?

It sounds like we could replace all properties between concepts (exclusing
inheritance) as tags: "music piece belongs to an album" could be a Tag,
Contact sent an email..." another tag, "Contact has postal address" another
tag....

Then it is opening the door to all kind of "custom properties". A pimo:Tag
is like a property between two things that the user can label... it sounds
pretty dangerous.
