[Tagging] More flexible categories (was: Re: Removal of "amenity" from OSM tagging)

[Marc Gemis]

Thanks for taking the time to elaborate on it.

I believe most people don't care about the top-level tags. They just use
with iD (or a preset in JOSM for the somewhat more advanced users) give
them. Don't find it there ? just put name or do not map it. They don't
start to look in the wiki. Forget that. They even don't know it, or it  is
not translated in their language. I see it all the time here.

we need better, dedicated apps to put POIs on the map. They (novices,
occasional mappers) do not need a general editor.

regards

p.s. Richard F's made me curious about his presentation @ SOTM US in
another mail with respect to that "other type of editors".
