As I understand the spec, and element can have an arbitrary positive number of
integer tags.

Yes, that is possible.  The boundarySegmentToPhysicalEntity field actually
returns the first tag of each codim-1 entity.

Maybe we can think a little before adding a new constructor.  Just adding
another vector argument still does not cover all the generality of the
file format.

The 'physical' for edge elements are returned in the boundarySegmentToPhysicalEntity
field.
