But J/R is consistent, and its definitions of "tag" and "person", taken together show clearly that touching the base with the glove (if it is worn properly) while holding the ball securely is sufficient for a legal tag of the base.
Thanks Dave, I guess it would have helped if I had looked up "person" in Rule 2.00. That does it for me!

DG, you got anything else?
