I wish FFDL could get hold of the canonical tags for a fic. It would make things more workable. Does anyone know if AO3 attaches those tags to a story?
Unfortunately, no - that's handled entirely in the database. In theory, they could technologically be added as hidden metadata; however, current practice is that Tags are Content, so unless something breaks the ToS, they're sacrosanct.
