I don't think that a tagging style that works best in Europe will
automatically also be the one that works best in South America.
Any attempt to force everyone to use the same style will
automatically make the map *less* good in some places. I think
that it is one of the great strengths of OSM that we can allow
people to map what is good for them locally, and we should not
throw that away just because some programmer somewhere finds it
easier to roll out his iPhone app if tags are synchronized the
world over!
And if there's three or four different tagging schemes for the same
thing in the same country? Changing in quantity, genre or spelling for
instance.
These schemes will not spontaneously appear, they take time and I'm sure
that there will be enough people on this list to point out the error of
heading down that path. :-)
