This is a really big thing for me, some suggest using a set of tags a
lot and then documenting, but I've done that with school zones only to
be told I did it all wrong and I should have done it some other way.

This was not only highly frustrating but demoralising and as a result
I've not been bothered tagging any more school zones because I don't
see a point until there is a "One True Way" to tag school zones.

So OSM has lost a collection of data from the real world as a result.
