Ok, so you answered my question and brought up a new one. So if I have a tag for 20 armor points, I can't wear that armor because I can only wear up to 15 armor? (I can't just wear it and have 15 points and ignore the other 5 points?) Also, you can't use blacksmithing to "upgrade" armor can you? (I can't make a suit of 15 point armor into a suit of 20 point armor?) In my mind, you should be able to do this since armor is made of pieces. (Like if you add a helmet...)
David-
If you have an armor limit of 15 and have an armor tag worth 20 pts you would need to "tear down" the 20 pt tag so that it is worth 15. You can't recoup any of the value of the lost 5 pts, and you can't use a tag that is worth more than the total armor value you can wear (class limit + wear extra armor skill).
As far as upgrading armor with blacksmithing, no, not directly. The closest you can come is using the merchant skill to sell back the suit you have and using the money provided by that transaction to fund the creation of the new suit.
