tagging votes are only advisory and that the community is
only invited, neither required nor recommended, to follow
them. As I understand this comment, the community MAY follow
the Wiki tagging or votes, it does not SHOULD nor MUST
follow them. I was under the impression that the community
at least SHOULD apply the votes results, MUST looking
unenforceable due to the free tagging principle. Am I wrong
on that? What is the applicability of the Wiki content?</span></div>

What are you going to do when a new mapper comes along and adds a
tag that they "SHOULD NOT"? They won't have read the wiki, because
no-one* does. Are you going to send the wiki police around and tell
them to delete the offending tag with no other sudden movements? <span

More seriously, any dataset that has no rules enforced at the API
level must be assumed to have data in it that doesn't meet a
specification that is written down somewhere, but not enforced.
Someone wrote that wiki page long ago but didn't actually do
anything else, presumably expecting the magic code and project
management fairies to look after all the other changes that they
expected to happen.<br>
