[Tagging] feature Proposal - Voting - settlement_type=crannog

[Martin Koppenhoefer]

who cares for "in use" or "approved", the question is only whether there
are alternative tags available, in which case you either have to decide or
put both.
The voting isn't binding, at most it could be relevant if there is an
alternative value for the same key.

So while this could be seen as a conceptual problem, it does not really
matter IMHO for actual tagging.
In practice I would not "approve" the whole chain up, just because one
particular value was approved, and if I were the proponent of this tag, I
would use it also if it got rejected, unless it was rejected by other
people familiar with the domain or area where these occur, and they would
propose a better alternative.

Also because you cannot rely on the information given in the wiki. I just
changed the "site_type" key to de facto, because this is what it is.
Furthermore also site_type=settlement could be seen as de-facto, but I did
not make this edit immediately because I see there is maybe some more
wiggle room to see it still as "only" in significant use (3600 times)
without alternatives proposed as far as I can see.

Cheers,
Martin
