I think attempting to delete a tag that doesn't exist should return a 404.
The user can always ignore the error if they know there's a
chance that the tag they want to get rid of doesn't exist. But for those
that believe it should exist its an error is more useful to them as
it may be an indicator that something is wrong with their logic.
