It has not gone through the consultative and voting process so I'd like to remove it unless anyone has any objections?  I can see that it has limited value inside in parts of Europe were such things are not common, but confusing for anyone else. No harm in using it, but it should not be on Map Features. <gets off high horse>

Nope, everyone is free to use whatever tag they want.  Same goes for rendering.  If its useful locally in the UK  that is fine, but it should not suddenly appear on the Map Features page, certainly not without discussion/voting.  If it was used during early mapping, a "depreciated" note would an alternative.
