I think that because originally, the value of <tag>
was required to be
fully-qualified rule name.

Later, I was hacking on the 'make' and 'notfile' rules,
and decided that
__name__ is too obscure, so I fixed the internal mechanism
that handles ""
values of features. That made full name unnecessary for all
features,
including <tag>.
I've just modified the testcase to use both full name and
local name, and it
works fine. I've committed this change.
