It seems logical to me that this data would be some day placed in the dictionary or in a kind of secondary dictionary. In fact the trend is already to add more semantic information to words: for example in proper names we now often distinguish between first names, surnames, place names, hidronyms, etc. Personally, I don't have any preference in the syntax. I'm fine with any method that is short, easy to type on any keyboard and that identifies a tag as secondary. Hèctor > Again, and again I want to see a translation and a linguistic > motivation.
