The simplest thing is to have scripts understand the two common sets of 
tags - Y/N/U and S/H/U.

If I were to change bogofilter, I'd probably make the default tags be 
Spam/Ham/Unsure rather than Yes/No/Unsure.  Spam/Ham/Unsure has the 
advantage of being clear and unambiguous.  Unfortunately this change might 
affect lots of users, so it won't be made.
