Proposal for New Work Types for Carnatic Music

From what I have gathered from other discussions on the topic of classical music classification, I’m afraid that a structured list of work types is not the right approach.
Especially since composers like to flaunt boundaries, and create works which defy traditional genre, form, etc.

We should rather work on enhancement of the tags system, which provide a more flexible framework. But we should enhance it to have “work types” managed as “genres”.
