 If the tagset encodes features separately (e.g., each character is a value of a particular feature): The decoder should be tolerant to unexpected combinations of features (or should be able to be tolerant if asked for it). If the tagset encodes features separately (e.g., each character is a value of a particular feature): The decoder should be tolerant to unexpected combinations of features (or should be able to be tolerant if asked for it).

 Since any feature can in theory have an array of values instead of a single value, the encoder should either be prepared to arrays (more precisely: array references) anywhere, or call ''tagset::single_values()'' to get rid of the arrays (or some of them).
