Surely the only voting process that carries any weight in the long  
run is people actually using a given key/value pair in the database...

Why not just provide a list of popular tags (like map_features does  
now), and a long list of possibilities for things not on the  
'popular' list (basicly what the Proposed_features currently do).

Any proposed features that see significant real world usage make  
there way onto the map_features page.
