[Tagging] tagging stained window artists

[Anne-Karoline Distel]

I agree that nodes are doing enough. I'm not in the habit of carrying a
measuring tape with me; even if I did, I would still prefer a node and
width=*. You'd be lucky enough to get access to the window to measure
the width, height would be complete guesswork for a normal person.
