[OSM-talk] The wki pages ... for the mapper? or the render? or both?

The some of the wiki pages appear to be written for the renders, while 
others look to be written for the mappers. This is confusing!
I believe there should be two versions of the wiki pages - one for 
mappers who need simple descriptions of the tag/s and another for 
renders that give information on rendering the tag/s. So two pages - 
mappers version and renders version.

As a small example;
The properties page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Properties
this list a number of what a mapper would call an object (bridge, 
tunnel, cutting)
but a render associates with another object to render it correctly and 
thus calls it a property.
Thus there are two conflicting views that lead to confusion.
