Just to make matters muckier - although there is no Tag 9 option on the GEDCOM export fields option screen, it is actually exported along with the other tags if you select _TAG, _TAG2 .... _TAG8 . Curiouser and curiouser however in my GEDCOM export _TAG4 is missing although marked on the export screen and used in the Legacy database. It was the tag that I set most recently, using the search facility. I don't know if that's relevant or not.

As for what people use tags for - in my case I am currently using tags 4 through 9 to signal which of the UK censuses each person appears in from 1851 to 1901. My Tag 1 flags people that I have personally met during their lifetime and my Tag 2 is for people whose records I have now audited for completeness. Tag 3 isn't currently being used, but watch this space ...
