[Tagging] golf_cart=permit? | Re: Feature Proposal - RFC - Key:golf_cart

[Joseph Eisenberg]

I'd recommend trying to eliminate the parenthesis, because it would be

Also, I don't quite understand the last phrase:

> "because only the rightholders are given permission based on individual discretion."

Who are the "rightholders"? Who is the individual who uses discretion?
