Sorry if I may have offensed you or others.

With "real response" I just meant that no one came up with a "I'm using 
this for a while to tag xy" to explain this feature to be really useful 
and being able to add a good description to the map features page.

I agree with Robin that it's just not really "map-worthy" to tag every 
icon in every church, giving the fact that at least my GPS doesn't work 
quite well indoors ;-)
