In addition to all that has already been said, if your Vim version was
built with +emacs_tags compiled-in (which usually means a "Big" or
"Huge" Vim), it should be able to use "emacs-style" TAGS files, though
it will ignore lines longer than 510 characters. You say your emacs tags
generator "of course" doesn't produce the proper format. Have you tried it?
I think that a tag should be a "keyword" for the particular filetype
where it is found.
See
:help emacs-tags
:help 'tags'
:help 'iskeyword'
Best regards,
Tony.
