[Talk-GB] Historic England - tagging guidelines - can we agree on the English usage

[SK53]

Late to this as ever. I think Robert summarised all the important things I
wanted to say, so just a few additions:

* Use cases: I imagine the primary use cases will be related to individual
lists, so ensuring that they are readily discoverable at the list level
helps.
* Using an Operator tag as effectively part of the primary key has problems
in that it's easy to make typos or to forget what the canonical form of the
operator name is in osm (check out Weatherspoons, for instance).
* Other heritage lists. There are a considerable number of perfectly
valuable non-statutory heritage lists. Off the top of my head those of
Camra (Heritage Pubs), 20th Century Society (active in achieving the recent
listing of Dunelm House), local civic societies, railway heritage groups
<http://www.rhrp.org.uk/surveystatus.htm>, and local authorities (which may
retain lists which will be considered for planning purposes).
* List ownership changes, as mentioned. The earliest mention of UK listed
status I'm familiar with is in volumes of the Pevsner series abbreviated as
MHLG, and even in the history of OSM we've seen English Heritage transform
to Heritage England, and similar changes in many natural heritage bodies.

I think including a country code in the key is probably useful to provide
context & avoid potential collisions in use of initials.
