Authentication of the data is a different problem than rendering it.

Note that this is different than tagging for a renderer since the data
country=foo is real and not a hint.  It was also just an example, not
necessarily an actual tagging suggestion.  The example was presented
because there was an assertion that it was a technological problem.
