Earlier I had the bright-boy idea of creating a "simplified" map
features tree by writing static web pages which had choices pre-
selected. So, for example, once you pick a language, you only get
that language's pages, or once you pick a country, you only get that
country's representation of features. And once you pick a feature,
the next page only shows you the tags that are relevant to that
feature. Further, this was to be a set of pages to be downloaded by
users, so they would be as fast as their computer.
So, basically, yeah, I agree, we REALLY need something like this to
make it easier for users to select consistent tags.
