Maybe it's an higher priority, but that doesn't interest me. If someone 
wants to, good for them. Now, the lower priority 'redundant tag deleting' 
is still needed, and if it can be done automatically (nobody still hasn't 
given me a fuckup example), then why not ? It's still usefull if you want 
to extract all the lakes of the world, for example.
