Good morning Fediverse.
I personally think the Fediverse needs more algorithms, e.g. one to decide if something is a tag or and attachment. Both reference resources not contained in the original AP object. I would say the difference is that a tag references the content, whereas an attachment doesn't. It's possible to formalize this into an algorithm, but currently awkward.

@helge a tag is taxonomical like a category, and an attachment is intended to be part of the message dispositionally
this matter is complicated by mastodon stuffing toot:Emoji in there and expecting transformations of the natural language properties, which is not what a "tag" is typically supposed to be. but i would also go so far as to say that Mention tags should be replaced by directly tagging the Person.
