Limitations of the Taylor principle

I've got a tutorial question that is driving me nuts as follows: What are the limitations of the Taylor rule with respect to Demand-pull inflation?

For the life of me I can't think of any reasonable downside to the rule in regards to demand-pull inflation given the premise of the Taylor rule is to increase interest rates in line with any positive output gaps .

Any suggestions?

@RWCIII,
My guess: Just because a product may have demand-pull inflation, that doesn't necessarily mean there's an overall inflation in the economy. Any interest rate increase must necessarily take into consideration not only the impact to our economy, but how that will affect our products and services in the world marketplace.

Not all products or services inflate at the same rate since most consumer products are based on demand which changes with the economy.

Look at housing. In the areas of high demand, prices have been increasing at double-digit rates while interest rates have remained relatively low.
