For some reason (read-only???) I could not add a note there, so I'll 
present my ideas here:

IMO Tag should become an int64 for all components, to overcome platform 
and streaming problems. More properties can be introduced, for best 
compatibility with existing code (Tag64, TagPtr). These properties could 
be based on the same int64 field, i.e. r/w part of it, and only that 
field is streamed. And when we just are extending the type, we also 
could consider to make it big enough to hold a method reference...
