<p>I don't really know where I was at that times, mostly because I
don't know when that times where, honestly. Should I feel ashamed?</p>
<p>I wasn't criticizing the rationale for having a better wording

the wording you proposed.</p>

<div>Were you here when we discussed landuse=clearing that
somebody found used (presumably</div>
<div>by a HOT mapper)? Used only a handful of times. It had
not been proposed and accepted, or</div>
<div>proposed and rejected. It was not widely used. It was
something that somebody had made up</div>
<div>on the spot from lack of knowledge about the correct way
to deal with it. The wiki should</div>
<div>probably document and deprecate it, for the benefit of
anyone who finds it on taginfo and</div>
<div>would otherwise assume it to be acceptable.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But there are other de novo tags which don't have
existing alternatives, haven't been through a</div>
<div>proposal process and are not widely used. "In use"
implies fairly wide usage. Otherwise</div>
<div>anyone can invent a tag (however silly) use it once and
document it in the wiki as "in use." I</div>
<div>doubt that is a good way to go. Nor is leaving such
things undocumented else we're likely</div>
<div>to end up with dozens of alternative tags for the same
thing.<br>
