OK. I'll strip the verb conjugation code from the 10 entries listed in comment 10 below.

When "adj-f" first emerged and got described as "noun or verb acting prenominally" I think I had in mind that the verb would either not be conjugating or was conjugated already, as in 得も言われぬ or ああいった. Then along comes 信用できる/信用できない and mucks things up. I'm very tempted to say that if a verb is usually prenominal, don't have a v1/v5x tag. I think that should work, and 信用できない can fend for itself. Of course 食べる doesn't get an "adj-f".
So, I guess I'm back to Marcus' earlier position, and drop the verb tag for these cases.

seems like the adj-f is unneeded.  e.g., 食べるもの means 'things to eat', but we don't mark 食べる or any other verb as adj-f.  i suggest adj-f not be used anywhere that it's tagged as a verb
