This may go in a separate paragraph, to stand out better and keep the
previous normative paragraph short.

maybe "expansion" (I tend to prefer a noun in this context)

foo=foo is a bit ugly, what about expand=normal?

Nit+: add empty lines around the group, easier to get they stand together.

what's "tag" good for?
