Hi,

	Ran into a user error situation that perhaps the pf ruleset parser could help with. 

	I was working on rules and using tag/tagged and the rule that should have 'applied' a tag used 'tagged value' instead of 'tag value'. Thus the tag was never set and the subsequent 'pass .... tagged value' rule never fired.

	It seems that tag references are not dynamically defined [ unless perhaps they are used in authpf scenarios? ]. Would it make sense for the parser to issue a warning if a 'tagged value' references appear but no defining 'tag value' is found in a ruleset?
