Yup :) SchemaTroll 2.01 is definatly an attempt to create a universal Tagging Schema, where the entire 'geo spatial community' (including osgeo foundation and mapquest and commonmap) will benifit from a clearly defined map feature system so that everyone can easily convert their own schema across to other schemas.
So 'Open Map Features' Is a great name for this. (it will suceed the name of 'SchemaTroll 2.01') as soon as i am complet with my initial review of multiple international map feature schemas of varing complexity. Thanks for your interest, I hope we can channel your enthuasiam to better the tagging schema.
