Somewhere (I don't know where it was) I read that a new tag has to be 
used about 100 times before it can be documented on an a new wiki page 
in the key/tag namespace. Otherwise you can create a proposal page and 
link to it from other pages. I think this rule makes some sense because 
it makes it easier for beginners and for users who do not have the time 
to read everything on the wiki to quickly find what is save to use and 
distinguish it from what is just the opinion of a single user. A 
beginner will not know that the taginfo information may be more 
important than a nice looking wiki page. If we allow that everyone can 
create a new wiki page in the key/tag namespace for a tag that is used 
only twice and list this tag on the *main* features page the will become 
next to useless for the occasional user.
