I think the real question is whether tags become part of connection
"state".

For instance:

    pass in quick on $INT_IF from $NETWORK to any tag "INTERNAL" keep state

    pass out quick on $EXT_IF tagged "INTERNAL" keep state

So, when a packet comes in on $INT_IF and goes out $EXT_IF, obviously it
will have tag "INTERNAL" attached to it.  However, when the reply packet
comes back in $EXT_IF and makes its way back to $INT_IF, will it also
have the "INTERNAL" tag attached?  If it does, that would make ALTQ able
to assign it and classify it and queue it the way people want.  But the
question is, is the tagging considered part of the "state" that is kept
in the state table?
