I joined this list in other to learn about tagging, not to dictate other
mappers how they should tag. I'm not interested in several tags that have
gone through voting. Do you want me to vote on things I don't know about or
not interested in (never needed to map a watertap), you should at least
offer the possibility to express that I stay on the sideline.

This mailing list only attracts a very small fraction of the mappers. Maybe
you should first answer that question before changing the rules. Also,
before  changing the rules, try find to a large audience on how tags should
be structured. Is it ok to have lot's of different keys on the top level ?
How to deal with multivalues (to semicolon-or-not) ? etc.

Unfortunately I don't see how those technical things can appeal to a lot of
mappers.
