I agree with this, to some extent. See below.

pe and ge are parameter and general entity names respectively.  I think 
a "feature" is specifically the name of a feature in the FSR chapter. I 
can look into where these are actually used, but I think they are both 
pretty infrequent, and inconsistently applied (i.e. I'll bet there are 
variable identifiers which are not tagged with @type=var). The best 
course is surely to have a default rendition for all <ident>s, 
irrespective of @type value, and then supply specific values for the 
most common and usefully distinguished values.

Not constraining @type vallists is always going to come back and bite 
you in the end.
