[Tagging] remove “rendering” from proposal template

[Peter Elderson]

I think it's about renderability and usability of the data, not about
prescribing what a particular renderer or data user should do exactly. Many
proposals do not consider that enough, which gives the data users an extra
headache or just leads to nothing.

If the proposer voices her or his thoughts, it gives participants the
opportunity to comment on that in a positive way. The ideas may be spot-on,
fine. Or they may show misunderstanding of what it takes to render or use
the proposed tagging, given the current state of the database. Or there may
be an easier or quicker way to accomplish the same result.

Let's not call this mandatory, just encouragement to think it through. If a
proposer  doesn't consider impact, usability, and backward compatibility,
chances are the proposal will not make the cut.
