I think the point was to have a little fun and show that the process of
creating tags needn't be so formal and boring. If people just posted their
cool tag usage, rather than the lengthy discussions on the anal aspects of a
tag, we'd get a lot more stuff with useful data attached to it in the
database.

I don't want that to detract from the great job of documenting and
discussing tags in general but this process of making maps is supposed to be
a lot of fun, not a chore :-)

Cheers

Andy
