True, although I think it's implicitly clear having only the reply tag too. ie. if there's only one of either reply or root it implies there's only one post further up the chain.
It's probably best that everyone does it the same way though and I think root does make more sense.
The positional e-tags are a pain, unfortunately it seems like quite a few people are still using them. I've run in to issues trying to differentiate them from other kinds of posts.
