I'm not sure that the comment/tag features are worth the space in the
Emacs manual, but I won't protest if there's a demand for it.  (I don't
use them myself, so I might be biased here.)

To my mind, it makes sense to use two different words, because it
clarifies the difference between the two types of operations slightly.
