Not really. If you replace /tag/ with /attachment/ it works the same way.
You don't have to do both at the same time, You can do the edit in 2
pass if you think merging the 2 parts is too complex. In the end you
get a valid file and simpler code.

Given all the discussions on tag editing and because tags are
important to me, I'm planning to add a "simple" API on top of
libmatroska2 (the C version) that anyone can use to read and write
tags/attachments. I don't know when it will be ready, because I have
higher priority tasks to finish first.
