I can understand the desire to consolidate tagging, but reducing the rendering of barriers to less, more frequently used (and maybe occurring) tags will lead to more tagging for the renderer, because people will retag the now unrendered (because less used and maybe also in reality less occurring) barrier values to the "closest fit" of one of the still rendered "consolidated" values. This will make the introduction of new values extremely difficult, for the only advantage of finding typos easier.

cheers,
