Anton and I have discussed this off line and he's added some examples
on how to use port tags.
In short, as I understand them, the feature is an iterative key word
search.
You start with a list of ports and all the keywords (tags) for those
ports. You pick a keyword, and the list of ports reduces to ports
with just that keyword. Then you repeat the process with an ever-
decreasing number of ports and keywords, until you have a list of
ports that is reasonble to read through.
