I'm not clear on the problem, so I wonder why the optional tags 
aren't generated in a function (procedure) that simply returns 
whichever optional tags are appropriate? Depending on whatever parm 
values are supplied, one or more "optional" tags could be returned 
as the string that gets plugged into the expression.

Seems to be as 'pretty' as you'd want to make it.
