Description
Per https://github.com/tailscale/caddy-tailscale/blob/main/auth.go#L148, func (ta Auth) Authenticate disallows any nodes with tags. I'm curious what scenarios this is intended to prevent, and whether it would be reasonable to relax this constraint and handle the security concerns through ACLs?
Thank you

Research direction
Start in auth.go at line 148, in Auth.Authenticate, and trace why tagged nodes are rejected. Review how ACLs are applied in the surrounding authentication flow and identify the security scenarios the current restriction prevents. Done would require an agreed design for safely allowing tagged nodes, plus tests covering the new behavior.
