Putting in place a serious process for tag migration will be difficult. I suggest that a first step will be definition of an actual schema, with version number. For example, define an actual list of several hundred tags, with semantics, that correspond to "OSM core 1.0". Then, we could have votes on changes to the schema, with advance notice given: "On November 1, 2011, the main database will be updated to OSM core 1.1. Please have your editor and renderer patches ready for this date."</div>

I would like to see such a schema become a sort of "OSM certification", to be awarded to consumers that fully support it. </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
Not easy, and I don't think the OSM community is at that level of process maturity yet.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>More organisation would surely help, but this is in contrast with the wiki principle. </div><div>
