First you have not put it forward as an idea, but put it forward as
a compulsion, a dictate. <br>
OSM has never dictated this method as compulsory. <br>
<br>
While it is good to encourage the discussion of a tag on the tagging
list, trying to make a mapper do a proposal page is a discouragement
to enter into discussions on the tagging list - the last thing 'we'
want! <br>
<br>
If dictated it could lead to many undocumented tags remaining
undocumented as it becomes yet more difficult to document a new tag.
<br>
There then would have to be 2 wiki pages created. And if the
proposal is only in draft form there is not compulsion to mention it
on the tagging list. <br>
If a watch is set on making any new proposal page .. why not set a
watch on making any new wiki page at all - same effect but less work
for the person doing the documentation. <br>
