That's irrelevant; you're still changing data across the planet.
Data consumers still need to know if the data is changing beneath their
feet, though.
Your last post on the tagging list:
http://www.mail-archive.com/tagging@openstreetmap.org/msg05221.html
says "So service=drive_through it is?". It does not say "OK, chaps, I'm
now going to change all the data on the planet to match the
'drive_through' spelling"
Even if it had have said that, people would still need to be monitoring
the tagging list, or reading the revision history of "service=drive
through" (note the wiki-induced misspelling) and reading the link from
there to www.mail-archive.com.
In terms of clarity that's up there with the Douglas Adams' "on display
in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory
with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of The Leopard'."
