Because they do a search of the wiki (and the mailing lists, and
The search box is also a lot faster than opening MapFeatures. Indeed
there'd be a case for abolishing MapFeatures (and just making

The voting process may not be representative, but I believe it is the best
approach for defining a new tag that OSM currently has.

- interested people have one place to look for new tags and join the

what about removing highway=byway from the mapfeatures? It is used
less then 2000 times (which is very little for highway), and it is
UK-only, so IMHO no reason at all to be listed on the main features
page, could be moved to mapfeatures UK.

As a new tagger, I look to Map Features to see what tags were supported by
the community, not to see the most common tags. When I want to know the
most commonly used tags, I use some automated tool like taginfo or tagstat.
We are wrestling with a presentation issue and clearly a single wiki

the of SchemaTroll 2.01 project
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/SchemaTroll_2.01#Garmin_Map_Features
I used the 2nd latest version of the mkgmap features, and compared it
with the Master Garmin map features list.
Looking at very high zoom levels on Mapnik, I noticed that the East
Asian countries (Japan, China, etc) have their names written in native
script with the English name in parentheses, but a lot of other
countries (e.g. all the ones with Arabic characters) don't seem to
follow this.
