Alan, Its not necessary to seek approval for every tag. You have done the right thing by recording what you have used where it doesn't seem to fit with anything else, I commend you for that as its something I don't always do when I'm busy. The best advice I can give is to document what you have used on the wiki so that others can comment on them or indeed use them too if they feel they are appropriate.
You could also send the issues, especially any you think are important, to the tagging mailing list. Please don't use the main talk list for this. The project has a long term aim to let others see, in a simple format, the tagging used by users. This should help encourage best practice, especially for new users. Map Features isn't the definitive tagging schema, and nor should it be.
