 +  * Create a web interface to DZ Interset. The user will be able to enter a tag from an arbitrary set (the interface will be able to recognize the set or sets) and get a detailed description in English or Czech of the feature values. Features and values could link to Wikipedia explanations. Conversions to other tagsets (including round-trip conversions) will be provided and all tags will link to similar descriptions of their own. Example words will be provided for every tag. The interface will also be able to read whole files in common corpus formats (CoNLL, PML, CSTS, RDT, TEI, Penn, Brill...), highlight word forms / lemmas / tags and link to tag descriptions. Conversion of tags in whole files will be provided.

-  * Make the form of numbers (digit / roman / word) orthogonal to the cardinal-ordinal distinction, as it is in Multext-East. When tokenization permits, we can have both "5" (cardinal) and "5." (ordinal).+  * Create a feature for numerical value of numerals. Multext East Czech distinguishes "finite = 1", "finite = 2", "finite = 3 or 4" and "finite, other". Numbers in different classes have different syntactic behavior. (Also, "21" may belong to the class "finite = 1", so it might not be appropriate to call the feature ''numvalue''.)
   * Normalize processing of pronouns, determiners, interrogative adverbs etc. Old drivers use a different approach from the new ones (beginning with Bulgarian). Pronoun as an independent part of speech will cease to exist.   * Normalize processing of pronouns, determiners, interrogative adverbs etc. Old drivers use a different approach from the new ones (beginning with Bulgarian).

     * Remove ''pos="pron"''. Distribute pronouns to nouns, adjectives and adverbs. When encoding into a tagset that distinguishes pronouns, detect pronouns by non-empty ''prontype''. Remove subposes of pronouns (''pers'', ''clit''...)     * Remove ''pos="pron"''. Distribute pronouns to nouns, adjectives and adverbs.

   * Create overview of common elements that do not have their own part of speech. E.g. infinitive particles. Specifically, make a global classification of "small parts of speech" (pavilón malých šelem :-)), especially particles, adpositions and conjunctions, punctuation and foreign words, hyphenated prefixes and abbreviations. (Pronouns, determiners and numerals are excluded as a separate chapter.)   * Create overview of common elements that do not have their own part of speech. E.g. infinitive particles.

-  * Design methodology for contracted word forms where two different parts of speech have merged in one word. Currently this is solved at different places in different ways. Examples: Czech "proň", "bylť", German "zum" and probably other phenomena in other languages. Enclitical pronouns are special case. In some languages they can or must join a verb or other words (Czech "byls", "sis", "tys", "žes"; Spanish "despiértate", "despertarse", "démelo"). Similar problem (but to much greater extent) arises in Arabic where the grammar often requires small words being glued to big ones (e.g. "wa" (conjunction), "al" (article) etc.)+  * Design methodology for contracted word forms where two different parts of speech have merged in one word.

I believe that currently the Czech "proň" is tagged differently in cs::pdt and cs::multext. Both set ''subpos = preppron'' but the former under pronoun, the latter under preposition.
