+1 on this thread .. good to see specific, easy, concrete steps (define a file format!), which don't try to change anything fundamental in the culture of OSM tagging, but rather enhance the toolset around it.

I'd suggest to - create a wiki page - identify the use cases for this list and document on the wiki, i.e. * list can be used for immediate user feedback in online editors (potlatch, josm, etc.) * list can be used in validation tools * list shall *NOT* be used to enforce the usage of a predefined set of tags * others? - create a proposal for the "data model" to be provided by this lists, discuss it and agree to it - create a proposal for the machine readable "encoding" (xml, structured ascii, whatever), discuss it and agree to it - create a proposal for the data flow, discuss it and agree to it - where is the data maintained? On the wiki? somewhere else? In other words: where is the master - which tool/tools generate "the list"? - where is "the list" deployed to and how can we retrieve it from there?
