[O] compatability of Tag Hierarchy and org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance?

[steen]

I would like to set org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance to the top level of a tag hierarchy, and have the exclusion apply to all the members of that group. Is this a reasonable thing to expect, or are the two mechanisms not integrated in such a way that I should continue trying to fix this?

Thanks,
