// NfcTag represents a remote NFC tag. An NFC tag is a passive NFC device,
// powered by the NFC field of the local adapter while it is in range. Tags
// can come in many forms, such as stickers, key fobs, or even embedded in a
// more sofisticated device.
//
// Tags can have a wide range of capabilities. Simple tags just offer
// read/write semantics, and contain some one time programmable areas to make
// read-only. More complex tags offer math operations and per-sector access
// control and authentication. The most sophisticated tags contain operating
// environments allowing complex interactions with the code executing on the
// tag.
//
// The NfcTag class facilitates possible interactions with a tag. The most
// common usage of a tag is to exchange NDEF messages, but different kinds of
// I/O can be performed using the NfcTagTechnology classes.
