+1 and that's already good enough no ? Although I did not myself check this proposal, the feedbacks seem to express a good idea but a lack of explanation. This is enough to improve the documentation. Otherwise you will see in the future that many people are improperly using this tag, as we have seen in the past in many examples. What's the interest to post a proposal, use it on its own, be happy but is finally so badly spread in the database by others that no data consumer is able to use it ? > 2.

If the proposal is good enough, you don't need you own "vote". It can happen that sometimes the amount of votes is very low but this is simply because the subject is not interresting the mass. > 3. Only if you have a wiki account you can vote. I don't remember if I had to create a special account for the wiki. It should be automagically inheritated from the OSM account but they are probably some technical reasons preventing this. Any way, I see the wiki write access as important as the OSM db access. > 4.

They are also 'no' voters because they didn't read carefully the proposal but didn't like a detail like one picture, colour or typos. They are also 'yes' voters that don't check carefully what is proposed, saying 'yes' to everything new. > 6. There are more then 1 million mappers and only a few vote (24 in > this case). Better say : "there are 1 million subscribers and only a few mappers and even less regular mappers." And only a fraction of them is improving the wiki. We can never be enough thankful with such unrewarding work.
