Some of these tags seem more like an instruction for the programmer how he
should use the information, rather than actual information. What else would
there be? alert=flashlight, alert:flash-frequency=2, alert:flash-colour=red?
If there is a potential danger like sharks in the water, this could be
formalized: danger=animals, danger:animals=sharks
(given that there is a sign warning people, as I also agree with Ronnie,
lets not promote personal comments).

cheers,
Martin
