I think that the wiki should concentrate on a good and clear
definition of the tag with possibly real pictures. Showing
symbols/icons or how it is rendered on a given version of a given
application is waste of time and a race against changes you will never
win.
You also give the impression in your message that JOSM presets IS the
tagging reference (perhaps I'm wrong). It is not more a reference than
the tagging proposals approved by 10 voters. JOSM presets are
"approved" by an even smaller group of people. Many tags are also
living outside JOSM presets and they don't have their own wiki page
documentation as well.
