That's precicely what I like about the tagwatch + wiki approach. It
illustrates the vote-with-your-data approach to a consensus.

Automatic tags like "source=PGS" or "natural=coastline" tend to overshadow
the manually assigned tags, though ;-)

What I'd really like is an easier way to generate Map_Features overviews
(especially localized versions thereof), but that's another step in the
future.
