[chair hat on]
I have seen at least four people approving the idea to list
grandfathered/irregular tags explicitly, and nobody opposed.
I think that in principle, we seem to have consensus to go this
way, although some details may need to be worked out (see below).
If anybody disagrees with this assessment, please state so soon.

I clearly thing that it is a bad idea to include somebody's name
in a nonterminal of an ABNF. This is true both in general and also
in this specific case. When Michael proposed and approved the
tags listed below, they were not in any way illegal or irregular.
Regards, Martin.
