[Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - Stamping_point

[Zsolt Bertalan]

Now we have a problem. Just after I started the voting, several issues came
up on both the hungarian OSM list and on the discussion page of the
proposal. The most severe one is that the key/value is ambiguous. People
could use it for ticket punching machine for public transport, etc.,  which
is not intended. Also I realised that stamps are not the only checking
methods. It occured me that I know about a tourism movement in Hungary where
the validation is through markings, so one have to write down the simple
pattern of the markings in your brochure. Also there are newly introduced
electronic checkpoints (see Discussion Page).

So key/value should be tourism=hiking_checkpoint instead of stamping_point.
A new key should be introduced for the checkpoint type
(checkpoint_type=stamp; marking; electronic, any other I can't imagine).

Also the name tag is ambiguous. It's not clear if it's the name of the place
where it is located or the name of the tourism movement or both. So I should
emphasize that the name tag is for the name of the place (name of the pub,
church or the name of the mountain) and I should introduce a new key,
tourism_movement (e.g. Countrywide Blue Tour; El Camino de Santiago,
trail-blaze.com).

What is the right process now? Can I stop the voting process and move the
proposal to the abandoned ones or should I wait until it ends? Can I change
my vote to no and start a new proposal from scratch right now? I assume I
can't rename it and change the properties I mentioned above.

I'm in a hurry now because in a little bit more than two weeks I planned a
long journey visiting many stamping points. I mean hiking checkpoints. :)
And I'd like to start the new voting before that.

I'm sorry for all this but tagging life is very ambiguous. :)

Zsolt
