Yes Martin, they are using either approved but contested proposals or "user
defined" values.
My idea was to discuss a possible project made of different proposal
covering each its area (health, education,...) which would give a more
rational set of keys to use :) I know only few tags and for others I rely
upon Josm menu and on wiki. Take the examples of dentist and prison, they
aren't "pleasant" (http://www.wordreference.com/definition/amenity) :)

This work would be also helpful for whom develop applications (example:
Josm, Vespucci, Osmtracker, Maperitive) struggling with different dialects
of tagging :)

Cheers,
Stefano
