Fair enough. But generally, I find it's not very useful for that
purpose. Searching the wiki and/or asking the list like you have is
the way to go.

Do what you think will be useful *once the renderers have caught up*.
If it is indeed useful, the renderers will eventually catch up. Also,
don't forget that the data is (and may be) used in many more ways
other than rendering an online map (e.g. in your case of business
names, this is necessary to be able to search for a business location
by name).
