I agree with Andy 100%. In fact, i'm going to use proposal as a template for some standards I would like to create for tags in Canada.
I do have one question though. Isn't the scope of OSM to be street maps? Isn't adding detailed information about golf courses (hole locations, ideal path from tee to hole, etc..) outside the scope of the open street map project? Thanks!
