 With the current Potlatch2 versions (up to 2.2-18-g514f0d2), whenever an
 "internally unsupported" object (or key or tag or value, please apologize
 my ignorance) subtype is set (e.g. ''building=school'' instead of
 arbitrary ''building=yes''), the otherwise excellent tag editor at the
 left side suddenly mutes into "Not recognized / unknown" information.
 There are a lot of tag types, where this can happen (and they will
 probably come drafted and approved faster, than Potlatch2 might be adding
 exact support for them) and it is impossible to use the dialog's comfort
 editing possibilities, if someone does know the advanced' texts by heart.

 One workaround would be to temporarily change the value to e.g.
 ''building=yes'', edit all additional attributes (address, name, etc.) and
 change back the value to the example ''building=school''. Which is a) not
 obvious for novices under a few weeks of usage, b) not straightforward and
 comfortable, c) not compatible with newly coming definition at all.

 In such case, the upper dialog selector might instead change just to
 "Arbitrary building type" or "Unknown building type" or "Unknown
 road/track/etc type", but still supply all slelectors and tabs, which are
 commonly available for all known (to Potlatch2)
 building/highway/waterway/landuse/etc. types.
