Yes, it is better to include the tags in the presets, if possible. The 
ignoretags.cfg file is more a list of all the remaining tags that don't 
fit into the presets.

I cannot promise anything in advance, basically if we like the changes, 
it will be accepted. :)
Including a tag in the JOSM presets will boost its usage counts, so we 
have to be a little careful. The tag should be either widely used or at 
least straightforward and undisputed. For special interest topics, it is 
better to create a separate preset that can be included by the user as 
an extension (http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Presets).

Good idea!
