Does it 'need' to be case-sensitive?

A better exercise, I think, would be to create an A4 sized "cheatsheet" of

Hi,
I quite like the idea. For people, who think about using OSM data in
their project, clarity of tag structure might be an important issue.

Arguing over the presentation on the wiki isn't really the issue. What the
tags are, and how they're documented, are two separate things. But like Ævar

I think there is some difference between a graveyard and a churchyard, so the
latter should also be a tag.

Indeed. But that's no problem, because the key "amenity" don't
bear some information of an object.
You can waive "amenity" and you may only say "school=yes" without
loss of info
I have commented on several points that have been raised.

To start with that is the wrong word to be using. I am not sure what

Hi all,
On this page :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmotorway_link
it is implicitly written that the "ref" of a "link" should be the reference of
the road from which the link depends. For example, a "motorway_link" to/from
the motorway "A 1" will be referenced as "A 1".

The author of the program obviously has got the wrong idea as to what

Sorry if this has been talked about to death and I didn't notice, but I
did search a bit and didn't find the answer. I'm also pretty sure I'm
up-to-date on all the code.

What is your suggested ref for links that are an entrance, not an exit?
And can you give an example of what you mean by an exit ref? Where I
come from, some exits have numbers, but the number is associated with
the highway ref, so you'd still need that as well.
