[Tagging] Proposed features - RFC - Power and pipeline substations functions

[Tony Shield]

Hi

I am not at all clear from this as to how to tag a natural gas pipeline 
and the various equipments at substations, or water or liquid 
hydrocarbons eg aviation fuel.

Is a product tag needed? The assumption is electricity (IEC 601 is 
purely electricity) but what about other stuff  especially where words 
and phrases are common irrespective of product.

Regards

Tony
