Nope.  I've meant to make that more explicit in the documentation, but as: 

(a) almost every interesting system that TagLib's plugged into provides such a 
framework

(b) such is usually done by said framework anyway so duplicating the work 
would just slow things down

(c) and such systems are less than trivial if done properly

I decided to forgo such in TagLib.
