[Tagging] Proposal: Rename wiki status "Approved" to "Published"

[Warin]

Don't like that idea... The 'voting' needs to be yes/no otherwise it is 
too much of a judgement call that will not make sense to most.

If something is rejected.. then if someone cares enough they can simply 
make a wiki page .. just as if they had never had a vote on the feature.

The true assessment of a tag is ...
the number of times it is used (relative to the perceived occurance of 
the feature)
if it is rendered (even if only on one map)

New mappers will simply look for a tag.. if they find two or more things 
that may suit they will probably chose the best fit (I hope).

[Presently trying to deal with radio telescopes .. tagged one way in 
Australia and another in Africa, and then there are mazes .. at least 
two ways for them too]
