Though repeated attempts by @bhousel and @quincylvania to declare themselves as final arbiters of OSM tagging and dismissing everybody else is certainly not helping.
That is really not going to work, and it is a pity because plenty of work done of him is really great but it is tainted by ignoring arguments of critics. No one is right all the time. To directly quote part of https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/6409#issuecomment-495231649 <https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/6409#issuecomment-495231649> "Some things that don't really factor at all into our decision: how long a tag with implicit semantics has been in use how many softwares (renderers / routers or whatever) already support the implicit rule how frequently the tag is used what a handful of people on a mostly dormant mailing list think what one person has written on the osm wiki how many downvotes you encourage people to put on our issue list what they are saying about us in the weekly osm tabloid" So someone is dismissing what everybody else thinks and at the same time expects everybody to accept his own opinions? Some ideas from tagging mailing list and OSM wiki (even after limiting to popular ones or "approved") are pointless/harmful but that is not a valid reason to simply ignore all of them. 23 May 2019, 10:16 by o...@westnordost.de: > I like your wording.
