This kind of compartmentalization of DR is only going to get more necessary as more content is released. This seems like the ideal time to do it.
Right now we have the small reductions -- One on One, Weathered Body, Bulwark, Margin Manipulation, Voidveil, etc -- that are seemingly designed to stack together, and generally get kept in check with a Main Class only requirement. Then we have the larger sources, like Wraithguard, Evasion, Indomitable, Eviter, and Stalemate.
The nonsensical reductions happen once the latter types start interacting with one another. No matter what attack you get hit with, if you Wraithguard and Eviter at the same time you take 35% damage; and that's assuming you're sitting at literally 0 physical DR. If more high-tier mitigation comes into play, this problem is going to keep happening. Tagging them so they can be kept away from one another without heavy handed main-class only, armor type, or armor + magic armor restrictions seems like an elegant way to future-proof.
