yes and no. this thread shouldn't have been started at all on tagging.
so it'sn't an exemple about "we need to split", it's an exemple about
"chooice the good list".

I agree but the "slip" already exist: tagging <> osm-talk for ex

so I ask if we have a tag for A, I am told no but someone has an idea to 
call it foo=bar
is it a help that should continue on help? or is it the beginning of the 
discussion of a new tag?
the world is not black or white and the one who asks the question on 
tagging has generally already done the research without finding so it 
speaks of a concern that should go on another of your lists

already proposed several times but no one wants to take care of it.
there was an attempt on the wiki "what's new
the only lasting experience is osmweekly and its announcements/summaries
moreover any email or webmail client is already able to create a 
tagging_proposals folder and put RFC topics and votes in it.

you mean that everyone should migrate from the list to a new one ?
what difference does it make if the discussion of tags takes place on a 
new list instead of here?

it's really not clear how the discussion of a new tag will be for here 
unless it's BIG then it's for tagging_strategy
