Technically this isn't enforced by the constructor.

Maybe a good reason to implement a HashMap? :) Just kidding, I think it should
be good enough to document for the constructor that it doesn't check for
duplicates and that if duplicate tags are present, the first occurrence is used.

Please use expect.

Technically, the error path is unreachable after the is_ascii() check, but I'd
keep it as is anyway.
