I recently disassembled dwarfort.exe, and made an interesting discovery. I don't know assembly from a hole in the ground, but I found a part that seemed to have something to do with the tags.

Here's a little excerpt:

code:

This is only a tiny slice, but it looks to me like we've got more tags then we've seen in the raws.

[Impending Doom]

Interesting...

Could you post a list of a few more of them? I'd like to test them and see what they do.

[Untelligent]

All of those except [IMMOBILE_GROUND] are in the Wiki (and there seems to be a bit of confusion as to what [VERMIN_GROUNDER] does).

[Puzzlemaker]

I would guess a few of those might be deprecated... Hence why they arn't in the Raws anymore.

[Fenrir]

So what does LIGHT_GEN do?

[Impending Doom]

Perhaps it makes a creature naturally light up an area in adventure mode?

Not entirely sure what this would mean, I rarely play Adventure. As (some other poster) said, most of those have probably been outdated.

Well, thanks to Netgear's quality products [/sarcasm], I'm unable to reach the wiki a present, so I cannot find out which ones are already known. A quick inspection reveals only a few more tags I don't recognize, so there may or may not be any "secret tags".

[Chariot]

all of those are infact used currently in the raws

Treant has [REMAINS_COLOR:6:0:0]
most fish/water creatures have [IMMOBILE_LAND]
rats have [VERMIN_EATER]
fairies and pixies have [LIGHT_GEN]
most vermin have [VERMIN_GROUNDER]

[Kagus]

Yeah, but he said there's more.  It's quite possible some of those are new and unknown tags with interesting effects...

[Sean Mirrsen]

I could try to give a more comprehensive list. Later, after I've played the new version for a bit.

The only worthwhile tag I've found so far is STICK_CHANCE for ammo. I've found more cunningly concealed messages though, like bashing down and lockpicking doors...

STICK_CHANCE is used on some melee weapons. Bashind down and lockpicking are used when you visit your fortress in adventure mode, and find one of your forbidden doors.
