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. Which shows well in your example: there's only oa:hasSource attached to your tag, which renders a bit absurd the use of the SR pattern.

Well, this example is fitting the semantics of foaf:isPrimaryTopicOf, at least.
And we don't need to make a strong recommendation. It is just an example on how to do things. Again, I strongly feel that OA should not make recommendations on the process of creating semantic tags from documents.
