fine-grained tagging is preferable because then another abstraction
layer (a particular "view") can be created through aggregation or
grouping.  one view is the "address".  the other is the "phone-list".
etc.

another rationale for avoiding implicit grouping is that there is no joy
in requiring additional (sub-tag) parsing.  that's what the data-format
language is supposed to abstract away.
