[Discuss-gnuradio] Messages, queues, and tags

Hello,

I've been following the changes Josh is making to the GR messaging system.  I am not sure that a gr_tag is a good fit for a generic message.  For example, the 'offset' may not be relevant to many messages.

We've been using tags very extensively in our designs and they are great but serve a very different purpose than messages should.  Perhaps a better idea is to define a standard message header?
