[Tagging] feature Proposal - Voting - settlement_type=crannog

[martianfreeloader]

I disagree with this:
"people who have only the vaguest idea of what the thing being voted on"

- Yes, most people probably don't know a lot about archeology. I assume 
this is the reason why participation was so low.

- However, anybody can judge whether they find it sensible to approve a 
tag before the key itself or the parent tags is approved. You don't need 
to know anything about archeology for this.
