tagwatch tells you what tags people are using, but not what they are 
using them _for_. There is insufficient semantic information in the 
statement "lots of people are using highway=unclassified" for you to 
know what to use it for, or even whether they are all using it for the 
same thing.

A set of tags alone is not sufficient to get consistency or convergence. 
Explanations are needed.
