Uhh, I checked and b4 doesn't pick it up either. I'm not overly
concerned about getting "credit" for testing it, more interested
in pointing out that it does solve a real issue that I have run
into in case you were looking for incentive to apply it :)
I realised immediately after sending that it was likely an invalid
tag, but figured it'd serve that purpose either way.

Thanks,
Conor.
