    Now, 'horizontal lines', an innovation. Do you see people re-voting

    see impact of changes.


The goal here is to be less binary.
That a mapper considering a tag can scan the page and see the history.
A lot of green, maybe they map.
A lot of red/green, maybe they decide to look farther.

The proposal comes down to show the history, let the mapper decide, but ensure that one person acting alone is not making tagging policy.


When choosing to use a tag I want to look at the tag alone. I chose it based on its suitability for my situation. I don't look at who proposed it, who voted for/against and the variations. I look at the tag.

Past historic discussions that probably have no bearing on my situation simply confuse, I want to make a quick simple decision based on the present tag and my situation.

-----------------------------------
An proposer is bound to find one other person to make the tag 'valid' under this idea. I think that is a bad idea ... may become divided into groups that promote each others tags?
