Hmm, I disagree. Just because the proposal did not get enough votes does not mean it should disappear. Mappers looking for a suitable tag can see it, decide after reviewing its flaws to use it. And it may well become a widely used tag. My guess is the proposer was disappointed in the initial RFC response and decided he'd not get the votes. Remember, being voted in is just one way a proposal becomes 'approved'. Wide usage is the other (main one). Having that proposal listed gives users firstly, some guidance and secondly, a chance to decide for themselves. It is not easy to get usage numbers for many unapproved tags, perhaps thats worth addressing ?
