Excellent. :)

It should be fairly trivial to fix if needed (and would probably make
the output more sane).  That said...

Sure, I don't mind that being fixed later.  Though we should probably
fix it relatively soon as it is relevant / less confusing than having
every tag once for every architecture.

But again, you are very welcome to start with what you have and we can
improve it from there. :)
