This kind of justification belongs above the "---", I think.

No opinion on the functionality itself.  Just:

hooks.denyannotated (defaulting to false) would be more consistent

Or maybe hooks.denycreatetag --- a situation in which unannotated
tags should be allowed but annotated denied seems hard to imagine.
