Kind of you to say so.  I (and others) often find it useful to distinguish these as "descriptive" (how tagging IS used/done) vs. "prescriptive" (how tagging SHOULD BE used/done).  Sometimes in the wiki, sometimes in talk.

Often, it is helpful to be DEscriptive, as in "this is what we do (now)."  Much less often, and best when this is made quite clear, it MIGHT be helpful to be PREscriptive, though let's be careful how we "prescribe" how "this is how it ought to be."
