+The values of these macros represent the inclusion and exclusion rules. They are
+macro-expanded on use and then interpreted as extended regular expressions (RE).
+Matching is inclusive unless changed by _flags_ (see below): If the path, magic
+or both match, the file is said to _have_ the attribute in question, unless
+there is a matching exclusion rule (also inclusive by default) or a flag that
+prevents the match.
+
+The path REs are matched against the packaged path, that is, without the
+*%buildroot* prefix (for example, _/bin/bash_). The magic REs are matched
+against the result of *magic*(5) classification and possibly the *FILECLASS* tag
+stored in the package (see *--fileclass* in *rpm*(8) for details).

The original says (emphasis added): "some of them are also *stored* in the FILECLASS tag (try rpm -q --fileclass PACKAGENAME for example)", which is correct, but v4 specific and like said, I'm not sure this info really belongs here anyway.
