Most possibly, but not all. I have to agree with Bradley because we
commonly tag off trunk. The way we work is we always have a bunch of
projects on the go, and when we hit feature completion on one we hand it
over to QA with a tag on the trunk whilst we go and work on other projects.
If QA find issues that need fixing we then fix them on the trunk (having
made no other code changes since the original tag).
Obviously the 'standard' approach is to branch, but there are other
approaches.
