Not exactly as they (where they are implemented - RPM upstream ist 
*still* missing them) carry additional semantics that is unwanted for 
this case. This tag is about ordering only. It does not tell whoever to 
include the other package into the transaction or bug the user to 
decide. But I agree that "suggests", "recommends" and "enhances" should 
probably considered for ordering, too.
