Mind you, I have not checked my facts here, but I think that the
difference is that if you select some text and then insert the tag, you
end up with <a>the text selected</a>. Beside also without selection, the
cursor gets placed between the Begin and End part.

This is just a leftover (the taglist plugin is old!), but since we
didn't see any gain in changing it, we left it like that to avoid
unexpected surprises.
