The problem isn't the targeting, at least from my perspective as a coder. The problem is how does it benefit the user to have such a tag in the first place. Works great with Weapons and Skills because they have a common field that can be used as a modifier across the board. Not so much with Spell School, the target is added but it modifies nothing as far as I know. In PF I'm sure their is a DC field for each spell that is calculated and then the Spell School target has something to modified based on the matching Spell School of the spell. But D20 doesn't have that. Now, unless a DC field is added to the Specials, with all the attendant ways that a DC can be modified by type (to avoid stacking), I probably wouldn't use the tag unless it had some tangible effect in HL. I don't use the Spell School one for just that reason. Just my two brain cells worth of thought on this matter.
