I have updated GnomeWeb/WebPolicies and I think it is 1.0 now. I
removed the comments about content that has been updated, but
they are available through the document history.

I like this kind of tagging too, mostly because of the straight
forward linking to relevant pages. However I don't consider this
as a "must have", and I don't think this is something we should
enforce. If the (CMS) tools we choose provides such
functionality, I think we should use it, but not make it a
requirement.
