Don't like that idea... The 'voting' needs to be yes/no otherwise it is
too much of a judgement call that will not make sense to most.
If something is rejected.. then if someone cares enough they can simply
make a wiki page .. just as if they had never had a vote on the feature.
The true assessment of a tag is ...
the number of times it is used (relative to the perceived occurance of
the feature)
if it is rendered (even if only on one map)
New mappers will simply look for a tag.. if they find two or more things
that may suit they will probably chose the best fit (I hope).
[Presently trying to deal with radio telescopes .. tagged one way in
Australia and another in Africa, and then there are mazes .. at least
two ways for them too]

One more idea: why do we need a binary outcome of the voting?
Something like endorsement= positive/neutral/negative (the current
approve, abstain, reject) as an indicator tells much more (together
with tag use). Examples:
* Endorsement=50/0/2 - very good, important tag (much involvement) -
go on and use
* Endorsement=10/0/1 - good tag, of interest to a small group - go
on and use
* Endorsement=35/4/28 - not a very good tag, but about an important
topic - nothing better possible?
* Endorsement = 4/0/3 - not a very good tag, but few people care -
use as you see fit

Will it be clear for new mappers what the difference is between
published and documented (i.e. someone created a wiki page that
describes a tag without voting or one that didn't collect enough
votes)? Wouldn't endorsed be better?
