Hi Ben,
- Is this an appropriate idea?
For me, it sounds like an excelent idea.
- Is there a process for proposing/validating a schema?
There is some kind of it:

There are some tags for antennas, maybe they need some extensions

Hi Y'all,
I work on the scenery for X-Plane, a cross-platform flight simulator.
The scenery simulator is derived from GIS data, mostly free US
government data (SRTM, TIGER, VMAP0, OGE2, etc.) right now.

Hi Ben,
Is there a standard for private keys? Are private keys even allowed?
Basically I am wondering if we can have X-Plane:x-plane specific data
keyed onto point features, or whether we need to have our schema be fully
merged with OSM. (Not sure which ways is
Hi Y'all,
Tom: fair enough, and for what we're doing so far, non-private tagging
makes sense I think. X-Plane's needs are very similar to what you would
need if you wanted to make a pilot's sectional map. (Perhaps proposed
aviation-related features should keep aviation mapping in mind...)

Now, adding the radio towers and other aviation things doesn't sound
out of line to me.
I don't think anybody has said it is out of line to put the objects in.
Additional info like height is something that I find allowable as a
tag.
Absolutely, but that isn't X-Plane

Or if you tag it:
render-hint=tower-23
then maybe some map renderers will honor that too, and support
different icons for different types of towers
Well that's tagging for the renderer writ large, and we don't do
Hi Guys,

Which are not generally considered good practice... You tag what an
object is, not how you want it rendered.
Right - I was discussing this with another X-Plane scenery guy off-list,
and this is the key to why X-Plane and OSM can play nicely together:

I'm all for adding aviation related stuff to our database.
