I have added a little to the wiki page - sorry if this should have been on
the 'discussion' rather than the 'edit' tag - I'm still learning the
protocols of osm and wikis in general!
At least adding a new tag designated= avoids my having to go back and change
all the ways I have tagged - I can just add the new tag as and when I next
visit that area of osm ...
I am in a dilemma over :uk / uk: as uk is wrong (see wiki) but clearly the
material is afaik only relevant to England and Wales and not to the rest of
the world - and yet anything other than 'uk' is either long ('England and
Wales') or obscure ('e&w')!

I've had a look at tagwatch (unfortunately not terribly up-to-date) and
documented this suggestion and current use at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:designation
. Please flesh the page out! It'd be nice to have a list of sensible values
there; also, should there be a ":uk" or "uk:" in the tag or value?
Cheers
