I think the standard should not have codetags that are synonyms. This is Python and there should be only one way to do it. One problem with synonyms is that they makes it harder to search using tools like grep.
It has always been my choice to *only* use XXX. I hope there aren't any developers contributing to the Python core who use any others? I honestly don't see much of a point for distinguishing different types; these are for humans to read and review, and different tags just makes it harder to grep. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
