Thanks for the suggestions, most of us are not mothertongue english
speakers and your help is precious.

Would you mind writing a short sentence that summarize the rules for
an ideal tag?
I could add them into http://plugins.qgis.org website and maybe they
can also be added to the plugin builder.

For Bing and Google, technically speaking they aren't WMS, more like TMS.
