Felix,

Thanks for spelling it out to me.

At this time, "no" and "private" are considered the same.

How about an option along the lines of

--delete-tags="motorcar,motorcycle"

that deletes the tags with the specified names?

This would happen before the style rules are processed?

That would be trivial to implement.
