Perhaps, but I think (perhaps wrongly) that taglines are an easier thing
to standardize on, because the meaning of such standardization seems
more obvious -- if a file contains an appropriate tagline, use that as a
name-independent id for the file. But what does it mean to standardize
explicit tags? The on-disk representation? The tag values? If the
latter, how does such standardization actually help, since portable ways
of exchanging files don't offer any way to contain the tags?
I could be missing the obvious, of course, but taglines seem like a
much easier target. :-)
