Sure. There are all kinds of obvious problems that need to be confronted:
- any group making decisions about tags will invariably meet
challenges to its authority from other groups
- different OSM subcommunities have different tagging ideas (eg, Germany)
- there are many people who believe that usage *is* the definition of the tags.

But I'd love to move towards a point where there is at least one
centralised standard definition of the tags, fully spelt out. Even
having a couple of such standards would not be a terrible thing.
