If there's one thing I could add, even though it is kind of implied by 
the above:

(5) Never ever invent a tag that you don't have a concrete use for.

We already have too many computer people who get carried away by thought 
experiements ("yes but if the spot where the road and railway intersect 
also happens to be a station and have a traffic light and a river 
flowing underneath, what are you going to do THEN????????").
