[quote user="Jon Summers"]The public mdlTag_api creates a tag at an offset from the host element origin. It doesn't provide an option to specify an association.

If you are asking what would happen if you replaced the tag's assoc point with some other type of assoc point than the hard-code type the mdlTag_api created based on the base element type, the tag wouldn't care, it will just stay relative to whatever point the association evaluates to...
