I think "why bother". Clearly what we have is chaotic, but any system
you can think of will become chaotic sooner or later with people
(ab)using it to their heart's content, so what's the big deal.
If you're so intent on giving structure to the whole thing then you
should perhaps use the gpsdrive-inspired tagging scheme that some people
in Germany use. They do things like
poi=shopping.machine.cigarette
poi=education.school.secondary
poi=religion.church.catholic
poi=shopping.rental.library
and so on. I'm sure it is documented somewhere but I'm not sure where. I
think it is a bit crazy but at least it can co-exist peacefully with
what we already have (an object can be tagged according to both schemes
at the same time).
Bye
Frederik
