Imagine working out a whole sentence, then finding a {fa} tag and having to shift every sumti one place right and reconstrue! My own personal preference is to disallow tags for places already taken, that is to anticipate places but not to delay them, unless another tag has apppeared to skip over the later place. I don't think that can be a grammar rule without a lot of problems, but it sure is a stylistic one I'd come down heavy for. |
