All,
I've contributed to osm in the past, though I tend to do edits for a
little bit then disappear for a long while. I recently had an idea for
an app, which required me to have street parking data for the city of
Montréal and since it's not in osm yet I thought I would start adding

ItoWorld provide a simple way to interogate the OSM database for tag use.
That is really my point I think. Anyone can add any tags they wish and all
the time that is permitted, or even encouraged as I have found, then there
will be no concensus in the way that I think this thread is discussing.

Renaming should be Ok as it was not tagged much and is only a few days
old. Maybe right a note about landuse=* and why renaming.

Yes, I can see what you mean and I can see why having a standard set of
tags would help in mapping etc.

When I think about making sense of tags, I always come back to the idea to
use our version of Wikidata, maybe OSMdata, which can be installed as an
extension of osm mediawiki.
In it we can connect meanings of various tags to wikipedia.org definitions,
and connect tags to other tags.
For example,

Dear all,
Thanks for all the answers. It seems that there is consensus about some
points:
- To know how to tag, it is necessary to look at both actual use, taginfo,
and the wiki.
- It is important to document the way tags are used on the wiki.
- The wiki should be adapted to the outcome of voting
Harry Wood is, I believe a Londoner. I am a Midlander, there are certainly
cultural differences, regarding shellfish between the two regions.
