It is a Relational Database, so it is not strange.

When you add a new tag, its name goes into the 'Tags' table and it is assigned an index-number. To make data management/searching easy, the entry is normalized (case insensitive).

All the books refer to that Index-Number.
FWIW almost all other lookup equipped fields do similar (just no case insensitivity).
