That'll be the list of features/tags that a program supports, and
published by the person who makes that program. It's entirely possible
that they don't publish such a list, in which case you'll have to
guess or read the source code if it's available.

Map features is probably a reasonable first shot, but it's not binding
on anyone, and any implication that just because something is
documented on map features, then programs should be using it, is just
plain wrong.
