If someone has no idea about the meaning of the values and just look at the existing tags, one may guess correctly, that "good" means smoother than "bad". But what is smoother? grade1 or grade5? And please do not claim that everyone will look in the wiki what the values actually mean. Please stay realistic ;-) And to answer the next argument: but if people don't know the exact meaning and also don't look in the wiki, we can not be sure that they use the values correctly. Yes. We can also not be sure that they use the values correctly IF the look in the wiki. But the chances that we get more appropriate values is much higher with smoothness=good than with smoothness=grade97, because a "good smoothness" will have a much wider common understanding than "smoothness=31415whatever". Best regards, Martin P.S: I'm aware that we will not reach consensus about this on this mailing list ;-)
