+1 on this thread .. good to see specific, easy, concrete steps (define a file format!), which don't try to change anything fundamental in the culture of OSM tagging, but rather enhance the toolset around it.

I'd suggest to
- create a wiki page
- identify the use cases for this list and document on the wiki, i.e.
* list can be used for immediate user feedback in online editors
(potlatch, josm, etc.)
* list can be used in validation tools
* list shall *NOT* be used to enforce the usage of a predefined set of
tags
* others?
- create a proposal for the "data model" to be provided by this lists,
discuss
it and agree to it
- create a proposal for the machine readable "encoding" (xml, structured
ascii, whatever),
discuss it and agree to it
- create a proposal for the data flow, discuss it and agree to it
- where is the data maintained? On the wiki? somewhere else? In other
words: where is
the master
- which tool/tools generate "the list"?
- where is "the list" deployed to and how can we retrieve it from there?

Definetly agreed, how do we start ?
