That's true, although:
1) Most of my CVS->ledger process is semi-automated and adds the right
tags for me.
2) You could add account checks that ensure that certain tags are
there e.g. ledger could warn you that an "Employer" tag is needed when
there's an Income:Salary.

I always mix up the transaction/posting terminology, but tags can be
fine grained:
2014-05-01 * Test
; :foo:
A £10.00
B ; :b:
In this example, "foo" applies to the whole thing whereas "b" only applies
to B.
$ ledger -f a reg tag foo
2014-05-01 Test A £10.00 £10.00
B £-10.00 0
$ ledger -f a reg tag b
2014-05-01 Test B £-10.00 £-10.00
