The most common ones that I make use of are "multiple" and "maxhits"

Where is the concept of "ruleset" in general documented, and in
particular what makes it "net-based"? Not in Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf.
"Ruleset" is a somewhat fuzzy term that depends on context - it could
refer to a single rule, a cluster of rules in a single file, a group of
files, or "all active rules files". It's not a formal definition within
SpamAssassin. In this case it's referring to one rule - tflags are only
set on a per-rule basis.
Any net-based rule is one that relies on a working Internet connection
to do a data lookup - most commonly DNS lookups, but rules for eg
Vipul's Razor (RAZOR_* rules), DCC, or Pyzor are also considered net
rules since they do a lookup against a network service somewhere.
