The tagged_stream_mux uses the packet_len tags to determine the input lengths. 
It outputs a new packet_len that is the sum of the input packet_lens. So here 
you also loose information about the streams that were muxed.

What sense would the standard tag propagation make in this case?

The context is that I was looking for a demux-block to separate data that comes 
out of my custom block. I did not find any demux-block -- and then investigated 
how the muxer works to understand why there's no demuxer. In this case the only 
way a demuxer could work is to have the muxer scheme constant and share it to 
muxer and demuxer.
