When I was going through the CRAM spec, I found some seemingly inconsistent descriptions of auxiliary tags with the SAM/BAM spec:
F
tag id followed by BAM tag type code (one of A, c, C, s, S, i, I, f, F, Z, H or B, as described in the SAM specification). (link)
A
Both of those look like typos or just oversight. I can confirm the htslib implementation doesn't use tag type F and that A is support.
Thanks for reporting this.

, which is defined in the SAM/BAM spec, while the same section has a statement saying "... and type is one of the permitted types documented in the SAM/BAM specification"
