- removes common duplicate confusing people
- removes common duplicate requiring special support in anything processing 
fixme tags

Now that I know about existence of FIXME tag I can add support for it in my 
tools

at 1% of cost of going through mechanical edit.




The entire point is not to support may particular usecase, the point is to save

people in future from spending time on handling tag duplication.




Also, OSM Inspector anyway is not useful at all for offline tag listing on map 


during survey, on a phone (my particular usecase).

That is exactly what I was doing when I discovered that FIXME tag exists.
