Why not? With a tiny change in the code one would get rid of potential
redundancy in the parse tree, would cause less surprise for people who
look at the parsers output (what does ":archivedp ("ARCHIVE" "tag"
"my")" mean?) and would get something more logical (the value of
:archivedp is either nil or the string in org-archive-tag).
But its not really that important I guess, I just needed to know what
kind of values to expect in that place - thanks for the hints. I
use that in another program where it does matter if its a boolean, a
string or a list of strings ...
