Why TIPS for high tax bracket investors?

I noticed that some of the posters are holding TIPS in their tax exempt accounts even when they are in the highest tax bracket eg: Larry Swedroe and others. I don't quite understand why. It seems to me that if you are in the highest tax bracket (and in a state with high taxes)then munis are, by far, the way to go. A rough calculation on the current yields with tax equivalency taken into account suggests that these individuals would need to earn more than 7.5% on their other bond investments to equal the return on a vanguard muni fund. I understand that there may be some advantage to diversifying one's bond holdings but are there any other compelling reasons to stray from munis when the tax brackets are high?
