Tagging in Dynamic Dataflow

I'm looking for a good description of tagging in tagged-token dataflow.
Specifically I need to understand how the tags are manipulated in loops
and recursion to keep the values separate during execution.  I have read
the treatment in Hwang and Briggs (Computer Architecture and Parallel
Processing) and the January 1985 CACM article (The Manchester Prototype
Dataflow Computer), but neither coverage is adequate.  Both mention that
there are three fields <name, iteration, index> and generally what their
uses are, but they don't get much farther than "it's possible to do this".

This is not intended as criticism; the intent of both writings was to
describe dataflow machines in general terms, not discuss implementation
details of the token tagging techniques.  My question:  do you know of
a reference which discribes tagging in a lot of detail?  If you do would
you be willing to send me the title, source, and author?  I have a few
more articles to try, but it appears they were also intended for general
audiences (rated G?).

Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
