Store tags directly in a tag list?

[Busti]

Is it possible to store a tag directly in a tag List or do I have to create a TagCompound?

NBTBase.NBTPrimitive is the basic concept of primitive storage types in NBT tags - which by the way is mostly polymorphic. So, directly storing only one of those primitives or String is allowed. Although, an array of integers or bytes is considered a basic NBT type as is a List of a single tagtype. Everything else (especially is it has keys or members) needs a Compound (since it is compound).
