No worries. First I wanted to wait with editing the actual content of the tagging scheme. But now that we're on the topic, we could just as well fine-tune it.

I also noticed that already. I have changed the key from name:xy to name:code and linked to a corresponding wiki page. (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Localization) I have also changed the corresponding explanation field.

OK

I agree in favor of using life cycle tags. The use of state= is also not documented in the wiki (excep state=alternate). I see that the discussion on how to tag alternate routes is currently still going on on this mailing list. So I would leave state=alternate as is, remove state=proposed and state=temporary for the moment, and wait what the outcome is of the current discussion.

OK. I also removed now the reference to public transport routes.

Perhaps we can leave it for the time being, until somebody comes up with a proposal?

Yes, that's something I still had to do. I wanted to add a general text above the table, also summarized from the four different pages. I'll do that later on.
Thanks a lot for going over this. I updated the temporary page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tagging_scheme_hiking_walking
