-1 I disagree with the sentiment. The value of the vote *itself* is minimal. But the value of the voting *process* is very high. Broad perspectives during the draft/rfc and voting phase can vastly improve tagging, and set a pattern others will follow. --- Even really bad tagging ideas (such as denotation="cluster") get widely copied. The initial patterns set matter, such as cow tracks lead to dirt roads, lead to railways, then settlements and main streets.
