The multi tag feature is a highly valuable feature for operators for route manipulation and policies.
This nicely draws parity to BGP communities where you can have a string of many additive communities. There have been complex designs I had worked on in the past with mutual redistribution between ospf and to prevent feedback loops required complex BGP and OSPF redistribution policies and requires setting BGP community for ospf2bgp and ospf tag from bgp2ospf, however since a single tag was per prefix was only supported this made the policy drastically more complex.
