While we're at it, it would be nice to have a database that allows going 
from the tagged item (e.g., "fitness centre") to recommended tag. Maybe 
I'm missing something that already exists, but at the moment my 
understanding is that the Map Features page at

   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features

is my primary resource. This provides the reverse mapping from tag to 
feature, and I have to search the whole page to get what I need in the 
other direction.

If the mapping I need doesn't exist, I'll be glad to add a Wiki page 
containing it. It would obviously have to cross-reference advice on the 
Features page.
