I'm sorry, but I don't understand. Why is the problem in passing along a few words of helpful and perhaps life-saving advice in free-text? Especially considering that it may not be possible to convey the exact meaning by a list of pre-established tag-values?

No problem, as long that this discussion does not end with "let's use free text instead of attributes"... Which is not what you are advocating - so no problem.

But wherever something can be encoded in an attribute instead of expressed in free text, that is where it should be. But, as this conversation underlines, there might be a diminishing return in encoding extremely rare attributes.
