Yep. Too few in number for most renders to pay any attention to.

That is the status. Presently 'unspecified' It is not 'approved' meaning 
the tagging mailing list has not votes on it... not a great loss.
If it were more numerous it would be 'in use'.  Looks like the tagging 
group preferred a different name .. but no one moved on it.. so use what 
is there.

Any reference number ref= .. any 'operator' to who complaints about it 
missing? operator=

I'll think about expanding the english wiki .. the german one has a 
little more.
