Why would you do that?

It seems like one of those things that should be disallowed, since it 
makes no sense to do it (except in the rare case where every single file 
in a directory was always updated at the same time... not sure if that 
case is worth worrying about).

Numeric directory tags are illegal.. they always have been but we 
complain more loudly now.
