That ignore list could be a lot simpler than Map Features, so the
wiki-parsing would be a lot less ugly.

I just think it would be a good thing if everybody who can invent his
own tag could tell maplint not to complain about it.

It would already be an improvement if the ignore list was a separate
text file which could be linked to from the not-in-map-features wiki
page.  That would make it a bit more transparent.

Sure, there is nothing wrong with adding reasonable tags to Map
Features.  I was thinking in more general terms.

How about voting on maplint's ignore list? <duck>
