Hello,
the openGeoDB* tags were added during an import in 2008 [1] in europe
and according to the wiki [2], the osm data maj project is long dead
and was problematic.
years later we still have plenty of occurrences of tag cases
if we had to do it again, current good practice would refuse to flood
osm with internal tags to an external database (except sometimes an id
such as wikidata)
I thus propose to change the status of these tags in discardable
so that those are not preserved during the edition of an object
some county, for ex Belgium, have already decided to remove them [3]
notice ?
Regards,
Marc
