See my other message (Message-ID: <55E55C3E.8010707 at volki.at>). Earth is
documented, but with a wrong descripion, which is worse than no
documentation at all. I prefer a tag with an obvious meaning over one which
is ambiguous, unless there's already lots of applications relying on the
ambiguous tag.
