Hi
I wasn't talking about a specific tag just their values. When I said 
"Who would object to being forced to use just Yes/No" I meant in 
comparison with True/False, 1/0; /not /totally exclusive to Y/N.
For the example of building=, I am aware that mappers may also define 
their own values, which I agree with.

I disagree with Frankie that "...renderers should probably accept all 
three forms though". 
I don't understand why others should have to spend time sorting out 
OSM's vagaries purely because we can't decide.

Cheers
