Your interpretation is quite a strict one. I don't think there is a rule
that states that tags not sent to a list must not be collected.

Anyway, I would have called it common sense, especially since it does
happen that someone accidentally hits "reply" instead of "reply all"
and replies end up not being sent to the list. If you expect me to dig
through e-mail headers to determine if you meant your tags to be published
or not, sorry, that won't happen. Do not send me e-mails with any tags
unless you accept that they may be published.
