[OSM-talk] Tag proposal/approval system is too heavyweight

Why not ditch the whole notion of "approved" features altogether. It  
doesn't cut any meat in our community anyway. What does "approved"  
mean, and who has the right to "approve" something?

Right, generate it from the planet file and that's that. Maybe have a  
wiki page that documents what the renderers do and at what zoom level  
(ideally auto-generated as well).

Bye
Frederik
