Hi Tom,
thanks for the suggestion. We've been doing it similarly, only without
the tags--following blocks simply knew what was coming and pieced it
together accordingly. The tags might actually be a nicer solution, much
more flexible.

Precisely. The tags give you the ability to make runtime changes/decisions as opposed to having to figure this out initially. Let us know how it works for you.
