I've heard the line often, and most of the time it is being misused.
As it is here. Don't tag for a specific renderer, don't tag
incorrectly for the renderer, but DO tag for renderability. DO tag for
routability. In my opinion, a phrase that is so widely misused would
do better not to exist at all.
