I'm reading the spec now, liking it so far. I'm glad you separated general purpose flags, application specific flags, and tags. I'm not sure about human readable payloads, it seems like they should always be structured, especially since the only other place to put data is in tags, which is indexed (I think?) Also, limiting tags to 253 bits might be a tricky limitation for referencing URLs which might be much longer.

Good point on the content-segment tags, since all outer tags are indexed, and these don't seem like they need to be. Probably have to rethink this part. I haven't really gotten to the higher layer stuff like that yet, beyond the rough first draft. I was imaginging application-layer tags (longer ones) inside of the content for stuff like this, but it's not written that way.

You'll also want to find a way to avoid duplicating tags if they need to be indexed but also used in content. Which means content likely needs to be able to reference tags in either place.
