If you know, or suspect, that some might not do then make that knowledge explicit (at least by not listing all similar packages). All the packages providing *tags are probably pretty equivalent, but yacc, byacc, bison etc. have differences that mean that some grammars are not acceptable to all of t

Redundant code for non-us?
