It's possible that the algorithm could be adapted to include N atom 
aromaticity. That could actually be very interesting. I think it  might 
work for the tetrazole. I wonder if the simple rule that N with two 
aromatic singles and no double would be OK provided the valency is 3. 
Might work.... Of course protonated amines obey a C rule....

Indeed! Two tiny inclusions for N in the logic make this all you need,

select (C33 or O34)
connect aromatic modify  # add C=O to aromatic set.
calculate aromatic

If you can test this on a variety of heteroatom systems and report back 
to us, that would be great. Should also work for protonated systems, 
provided the formal charge of +1 is present for N.
