The usage was discouraged for this purpose, neither forbidden nor deprecated.
No tagging in the database was changed (by myself).

We don't know, _because_ 'stand' is ambiguous. This exactly is the problem when people start using a 
new tag without any discussion in the community, and without checking a dictionary that would have 
revealed the multiple meanings.

Feel free to research and contact the users of the 'stand' tag and discuss with them.

As was said earlier in this thread, neither tag was documented, so the only reference to 'stand' is 
taginfo.
