I have tried to understand what this is about but failed. Obviously some 
guy named "ChrisCF" thinks he owns the place and writes things like "I 
will not allow this and that" - an attitude that will surely influence 
my own behaviour should I encounter him on the Wiki. His criticism seems 
to be that there's a lack of values - and it its current form the page 
really doesn't have any which is strange. On the other hand, there's no 
rule that every tag must have a discrete list of values so I wonder 
what's the big deal.

As for every tag going to Map Features, maybe it really is time we split 
- put everything that is widely used on Map Features, and make another 
page with "Other Features" where we have all those that have been 
proposed and accepted or rejected in a vote but aren't yet widely used.

Bye
Frederik
