+Part of speech. Pronouns, determiners, predeterminers and articles are roofed by nouns and adjectives, and distinguished by values of other features. The ''num'' value is intended for cardinal numbers (''numtype = card''). Other types of numerals are roofed by syntactically defined parts of speech (adjectives or adverbs) and distinguished by values of ''numtype''.

 Only information that cannot be stored in other features should be stored here.
 The apparently easiest approach — to store the complete original tag — will not work if the user needs to change feature values between decode() and encode().
+Note that the ''tagset'' feature may sometimes refer to a related but different driver. For instance, drivers ''cs::pmk'' and ''cs::pmkkr'' are related. The latter is a reduced version of the former and its implementation uses the code of the driver for ''cs::pmk''. Both drivers share their interpretation of the values of the ''other'' feature. They thus also use the same value of the ''tagset'' feature, namely ''cs::pmk''. Sharing this identifier helps one driver understand the ''other'' values set by the other driver. The derived driver has its own identifier, ''cs::pmkkr'', but this identifier is never mentioned in the feature structures. It would be more precise to say that the ''tagset'' feature identifies the language used in the feature structure, rather than the source tagset.
