I just remembered why we didn't do spell components for Pathfinder either. The values are a single character in length (V/S/M). Our auto-detection mechanism requires at least two characters in a name to match. So we can't auto-detect the spell components without lots of work to revamp the detection engine. [Note: For the armchair programmers out there, yes, we could change the constant to match a single character, but that has ramifications elsewhere, which are the real issue.] The only benefit to having the tags would be to filter spells and identify which ones have a verbal component (for example). While admittedly useful in specific situations, there's not a lot of general utility in having that available. So we determined that the amount of work required didn't justify the limited benefits for the typical user, which resulted in no tagging for spell components.
The other three are all valid items that I've flagged for the team to address.
