*-forms in tags

The answer to your question (copied below):
>From the point of view of the fellow who wrote the tag field
(for tie pants socks belt shirt)
he's happy, since the resulting certificate had exactly this field.
>From the point of view of the fellow who wrote the tag field
(* reorder-insert (for socks shirt pants))
he's happy, since he is explicitly granting permission to add new
elements to this list. (I.e. he doesn't care, as long as at least
sock, shirts, and pants are bought.)
So, everyone is happy... Are you now??
Cheers,
Ron Rivest

The misunderstanding which leads some to worry about "auth-growth" may have
been engendered by the example (15), where the intersection of
(* reorder-insert (for socks shirt pants))
with
(for tie pants socks belt shirt)
resolved to the latter. I am a bit mystified myself.
