"Tagged PDF", if I am not mistaken, creates PDF documents where structure of the documents (chapters, headings, etc) is embedded into resulting PDF and preserved. It is a useful feature of the PDF format, you don't want to enforce a limitation by not using it, do you?
Why would it be useful? For starters, it allows reflow of the document on a device which does not match the target resolution. PDA, for example. They come in different sizes, one could hardly expect PDF's for each and every one of them.
Second, the conversion tools can better reconstruct the original document, if and when something like that is required.
