[OSM-talk] Personal tags

[Bruce Cowan]

Last night on IRC, the use of personal tags was brought up as a way of
tagging something that isn't in map features.

The obvious issue with this is that several people may use different
tags for the same non-standardised feature.

I thought it might be a good idea to start a page on the wiki [1] where
people can add their tags and their reason for using it.  What can then
happen is these can be standardised later.

right now, but will do)
