It messes the message of Specific Resources, by letting one think semantic tags can be obtained by "refining" a source, the same way that other specifiers do. But in the case of semantic tags of course there's nothing analogous to selectors, states, etc.

The only answer I can think of (but I'm not 100% sure I understand your question, actually) is the one I've written in my last paragraph -- A.
