Ah, you can implement it that way but it is so inefficient so it
didn't occur to me.

Still, you have to do a GET before you do the PUT to be able to merge
the tags. So the internal representation should be pretty updated.

Well if the difference doesn't matter then you do not need to know
about it. But, OK, I can see a minor advantage to getting the rounded
values.
