bq. Is putting tags after value a good idea?

Oops, So you mean that tags needs to be part of the KV comparisions itself. Was 
thinking that would be a major change. So we need to sort KVs based on tags 
also?

I would strongly caution against this. Tags will be _arbitrary_ metadata and 
won't have anything to do with locating the value itself. 

On the other hand, some use cases may want it, see

I don't have a good answer for resolving this conflict. 

We may just want to live with the constraints imposed by not having tags be 
part of the key. This would significantly simplify implementation.
