This really will develop into a flame war if we're not careful - calling everyone who doesn't agree "barmy" is a good way to start one! I could give a dozen reasons why the scheme described here won't work well for many people, but I really can't be bothered. Here's another suggestion. Everyone who has their own idea about how to tag classical music write it up in a wiki page. Lets call the pages something like MySchemeAmcluesent so they end up together in the index, then we can link out to all of them from a list at the bottom of the main wiki page. An accompanying responsibility to publishing such a page is answering queries from all the new users who are trying it out and wondering why they're getting such odd effects popping up here and there. How about it?
