Sure. There are all kinds of obvious problems that need to be confronted: - any group making decisions about tags will invariably meet challenges to its authority from other groups - different OSM subcommunities have different tagging ideas (eg, Germany) - there are many people who believe that usage *is* the definition of the tags.
But I'd love to move towards a point where there is at least one centralised standard definition of the tags, fully spelt out. Even having a couple of such standards would not be a terrible thing.
