Two off the top of my head:

1. Potlatch popularised the use of a certain set of values for the surface=
tag.
2.

I can't speak for any other editor, of course, but I have never _followed_
tagging@ or wiki votes for Potlatch tag presets. They are one piece of
source material, yes, but only something to be informed by, and even then
very minimally. taginfo and real-world mapping experience are much more
useful.
