No. The priority letter is still in the string, you can use a regular expression to get it directly from a (or (and (string-match "\\[#\\([ABC]\\)\\]" a) (match-string 1 a)) "B") The text property tags contains a list of all tags, the inherited tags carry a text peroperty `inherited'.

Is there a place where how to parse a and b is documented? Not really. `a' and `b' are the strings that are inserted into the agenda, each line in the agenda may be `a' or `b'. The strings are loaded with text properties carrying all kinds of information. You can look at these properties by pressing `C-u C-x =' on a line in the agenda. If the information you want is not there, you can take the org-morker and org-hd-marker properties to visit the original entries and get the needed info from there. And example for this is in `org-cmp-todo-state' which returns to the original buffer in order to get the buffer-local list of TODO states from there. All the org-cmp- functions contain examples on how the text properties are used from comparing entries. The reason why these are in different text properties is historic, because I added this stuff one by one, over time. Looking back, a single property list would have been better for tasks like the one you are working on.
