Andrew,
This doesn't really answer your question but offers some nuance to
developing tags. Last year I participated in a group process that looked at
tagging features. In addition to tagging an object as Y, it also asks the
questions what attributes does Y have. We listed as many as we could think
of in a typical brainstorming session. Besides providing a list of
attributes, it also helps validate if tagging the object as Y is
appropriate.

I think the tagging proposal process could benefit if the community could
expand the proposed tag to what other attributes the feature has. I also
think it might help us produce more complete tags for features.

Best,
Clifford
