In part the problem comes from the lack of organisation of keys.
Some are by form (e.g. building=) some by function (e.g. shop=) .. 
others are mixed (e.g. amenity=).

The mixed ones in particular are hard to mentally recall, organise.

Reorganising is difficult .. historical inertia, personal bias and 
reluctance to learn a new system lend bias against it.

-------------------
The other problem is some mappers are looking at things to do locally as 
they think they have added all the available OSM features and now want 
new ones.

Reception_desk and power_sockets spring to mind ;-)

---------------------
The other 'problem' to add to micromapping and growth out side 'western' 
countries is 'indoor/3D' mapping.
