this really depends on the kind of use that you intend. "routing" and
"geocoding" / "search" / "interactive maps" are important goals as well.
Many attributes that are very common cannot be displayed in a reasonable
way in a rendering, at least not all of them. Think the wikipedia tag for
instance.
