What negative result do you fear would occur if somebody used[1] an
unapproved feature?

[1] That is, they tagged something as documented in the wiki, even if
the documentation is to be found in Proposed Features?  I'm not a big
fan of chaotic mapping, where people apply tags randomly without
understanding how they're documented in the wiki, or apply tags
without documenting their meaning in the wiki.

IMHO, everything underneath Proposed_features should be moved into the
"real" wiki
(e.g. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Key:stop
should be moved to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:stop) and
the feature should be labelled with 1) its current level of usage and
2) a measure of its controversiality (red / yellow / green).

That would make it easier for OSM editors to point people to
documentation.
