Maybe I'm missing something, but I think migrating semantics from
undocumented tags to explicit types was one of the objectives. If it
was really undocumented, there shouldn't be client code relying on
those tags outside of the Bioperl core itself. In theory :)

People out there, if you have a client that relies on undocumented
tags in a SeqFeature::Generic, please shout. Otherwise you can reckon
that these tags will be gone. Please also shout if you have clients
relying on documented tags pertaining to location and length (I recall
having added some tags to the documentation in summer or fall last
year, but hopefully no-one noticed :o)
