I thought that since Tag extends from Node, a visitNode() method would be 
appropriate. Apart from that if I want to search for some tags that I have not 
registered (say a <HTML> tag or a <HEAD> tag) I could use the visitNode 
mechanism to do it.

A similar argument can arise as to why have visitTag() at all when you have 
specialized visitImageTag() and visitLinkTag() etc.
