Can I just say how refreshing it is to have some input from the data 
consumers. Most of the interminable debates about tagging are between 
parties who talk about data entry issues (how many clicks, how much 
support in editors etc) and could be sorted far more effectively by 
considering what people want/expect to get out of the data. If the 
consumers' point of view is not adequately represented OSM could easily 
degenerate into WOM (like ROM only it's write-only). Any attempt to 
limit mappers' creative freedom by "standardisation" is usually met with 
howls of derision and dogmatic refusal.

Just my 2c...
