Leaving aside the question of the gate tags completely, I want to address
this bit of your points.

I hear lots about not tagging for display or the renders. I know it happens,
such is life. But it's not a compelling argument to keep the status quo, and
shouldn't be mentioned as such -- or else we should just use Google maps,
because they are better/more complete/all that nonsense.

Renderers should be following the project. If the community decides one tag
over the other, or both, or even neither, the renders will catch up
eventually. Or we should allow tagging for renderers, which I would be
against. The discussions about tags should focus on the merits of the data,
not outside factors.

Thanks,
Gerald
