This isn't just for newbies. I've been here for almost a year and I
just found out about this convention a few weeks ago. I'm the kind of
person that doesn't bother to read the manual unless necessary, and
the meaning of most tags is clear from their rendering or name. A tag
like flow=downstream on waterways would have told me that I needed to
figure out what this tag means.
