This missing protocol has been mentioned before - http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debtags-devel/2005-October/000865.html At present we have a rather confused collection of tags like works-with::im and use::chatting. It has been proposed that we should reorganise the mail:: facet as a general computer-mediated communications (cmc::?) facet, but that idea never went anywhere. Several of your requests look like they belong there. > works-with-format::po (Portable Object for holding program messages and > their translations. My package potool would use it.

At present we don't even have works-with-format tags for GIF or MPEG, so works-with-format::po seems overspecialised. > culture::english (or anglo-saxon, or american..

Probably there are lots more.) I've been saying for years (literally) that we need at least a culture::english, and preferably a complete redesign with locale::en-us, ::en-gb etc. Nobody listens. > works-with::sms (Short Messages System - i.e. text messages you send to > mobile phones.

We've got a mail::notification, but that has caused some confusion since it might mean either (a) new-mail monitors (such as kbiff) or (b) notification via mail about something else (like logcheck). As I understood it we'd decided we preferred to restrict it to (a), so your proposed use::notification would be awkward. There's use::check... -- JBR Ankh kak!
