Creative Commons licenses have simple tags communicating the modalities of each license quite clearly, and I believe the same can be done for Terms of Service. However, there are significant hurdles. I think a ToS Commons labeling scheme could be successful in providing TL;DR information for consumers, as an expression of intent followed up by the inevitable multitude of kilobytes expressing the same thing in legalese. This is also where the tosdr.org falls short as far as I can tell: instead of providing a list of tags that describe what the ToS in question mean, they apparently only rate them. That is not enough information to go on.
