Yep, that's how OSM works. :p > I'm fairly new to contribute to Openstreetmap, so I don't know of long term > habits for tagging.

There's the tagging mailing list[1] to which you can subscribe if you're into discussing tags. We also have a Feature Proposal Process on the wiki[2]. It's not perfect and basically if a feature gets approved, that doesn't mean anything other than that it has been approved. It doesn't guarantee it will be supported by any data consumer. It has its merits though: your tagging scheme gets seen by other mappers and they can comment on special cases or things you may have overlooked. Things that may not have been noticed before it is too late if you simply invented a tagging scheme, started using it and created a wiki page for it.
