				The maximum subproject depth is 16. This limit is intended to grossly exceed
				the depth necessary in normal usage.

				Objects may not be tagged with projects that are ancestors or descendants of
				one another. For example, a task may not be tagged with both {nav Stonework}
				and {nav Stonework > Masonry}, because the ancestor tag is redundant and makes
				tag management more complex.

				When a project tag is added that is the ancestor or descendant of one or more
				existing tags, the old tags are replaced. For example, adding
				{nav Stonework > Masonry} to a task tagged with {nav Stonework} will replace
				{nav Stonework} with the newer, more specific tag.

				This restriction does not apply to projects which share some common ancestor
				but are not themselves mutual ancestors. For example, a task may be tagged
				with both {nav Stonework > Masonry} and {nav Stonework > Sculpting}.

				This restriction //does// apply when the descendant is a milestone. For
				example, a task may not be tagged with both {nav Stonework} and
				{nav Stonework > Iteration II}.

				Objects may not be tagged with two different milestones of the same parent
				project. For example, a task may not be tagged with both {nav Stonework >
				Iteration III} and {nav Stonework > Iteration V}.

				When a milestone tag is added to an object which already has a tag from the
				same series of milestones, the old tag is removed. For example, adding the
				{nav Stonework > Iteration V} tag to a task which already has the
				{nav Stonework > Iteration III} tag will remove the {nav Iteration III} tag.

				This restriction does not apply to milestones which are not part of the same
				series. For example, a task may be tagged with both
				{nav Stonework > Iteration V} and {nav Heraldry > Iteration IX}.
