Yes, that would be in fact a much needed feature for beginners but also for expert mappers. @Jochen: taginfo is a very valuable service which I use regularly. But it seems to me that taginfo is rather a browsing tool and has not been designed to return key-value suggestions given a single search term, right? Taginfo has strong linking capabilities but wants you rather to know the key or the value term in advance. For example: A search for "castle" returns castle_type (instead of historic=castle, see http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=castle ). A search for "monastery" (or church) it returns the same term again (instead of place_of_worship=*). And seaching in non-english language is even worse. That's why I suggested something I called "TagFinder". You can look at the showcase here http://openpoimap.ch/tagfinder/search?q=Schloss . And I'm giving a talk about how ony could add value to taginfo statistics at the OGRS conference coming soon http://www.ogrs2012.org/ . So, taginfo is rather close to that "simple search with tag suggestion feature". In fact, you know that I suggested a patch for such an API - which you rejected at this time. I would still love to see taginfo enhanced with this feature (even if i would turn something like TagFinder obsolete).
