<div>Or offer them a simple dedicated system to edit directly in
OSM (something very simple, which offers just the tags that
are connected to a certain topic, and which abstracts the tags
from them, e.g. a reduced version of potlatch or iD, without
the possibility to edit geometry).</div>

Yes, that was also on my mind when I wrote, but I have a tendency
to suggest the simplest solutions.<br>
What we're talking about now is heading towards assisted or
supervised tagging, you name it.<br>
Sort of what Google wisely does to prevent anyone destroying
Google Maps.<br>
<br>
Could (I'm sketching and confessing you my dream :-)) the editors,
both simplified as you describe and fully featured), work in
password-less mode (with warning and explanation)? Then, when OSM
receives a password-less change set, after testing it for
coherence, it would not apply it but send it to a pool for
review? Reviewers would pick and apply them effectively. The
main question is: would there be enough reviewers to do the less
enjoyable job of absorbing the input timely? One could think of a
quota system for everyone to do his homework to earn his
membership.<br>
I have many reasons (real stories) to believe that something
should be done also for improving some taggers' competence or
taming the flurry of careless activity of others. One idea would
be extra validation optionally done by OSM itself, much the way
JOSM checks the updates better than... But here, the dream is
recalled fuzzily to my brain ;-)<br>

I expressed a similar idea some months ago but with all edits. But
this seems to be a much simpler version of it and easier to
implement. It could be implemented in a way that it could categorise
the work between designated areas, like countries or large areas
within them so people could limit themselves to areas they're more
familiar with. If I'd accept such a suggested change, I'd be
responsible for it as the edit would be registered to my account.
Not all business owners have time or the interest to learn about all
the available tags in OSM, nevermind registering for an account and
apply them correctly. Such a system would have the potential to
partially solve this problem.<br>
