IMO, this would be very bad. When an article has explanatory footnotes, it
often is the case that the explanatory footnote will need a citation. If you
disable #tag, we're back to the crap we had do to work around the lack of
functionality before #tag and the group parameter were created.

As far as I can tell, the parser doesn't even try. When it sees an extension
tag, it just grabs text up to the next matching closing tag and passes it off
to the hook function.
