<p>"<i>ad hoc</i>" (for this) signifies a solution designed for a
specific problem or task, non-generalizable, and not intended to
be able to be adapted to other purposes.</p>
<p>"<i>extempore</i>" (or more correctly "<i>ex tempore</i>", "from
the time") means something done without preparation or
forethought, as if prompted by the spirit of the moment.</p>
<p>"<i>impromptu</i>", improvisation, has more or less the same
meaning as "<i>ex tempore</i>".<br>

<p>I don't see how how the above could be seen as substitutes for
"in use" or any other OSM tags status...</p>

<div>The proposal process is formal. It's documented, people
scream at you if you don't do it exactly</div>
<div>right, etc. Doesn't matter if the tag gets approved or

<div>"Informal" means "make it up as you need it." Or, as I
said, ad hoc.</div>
