Look this is just a silly argument. All sorts of "drafts" are out
there on the web, publically available even though they're not finally
"published". I do this all the time with academic work; the W3C does
it all the time with its RFCs for web standards.
This thread is the most depressing thread I have witnessed on the
tagging-list. It's not even about a proposal! It's not even about
changing the proposal process! It's such a chuffing tiny innocent
suggestion, and it's thoroughly bikeshedded into the ground!
I think I had better unsubscribe from the tagging list, for my own
sanity. I wish no offence to any of you but this is crazy. Whatever it
is that we do to improve OSM collectively, my participation in this
tagging list is not a healthy way to do it.
Best
