If I could have one request, it would be nice to see the amount of different

On http://taginfo.openstreetmap.de/keys there is a 'users' column. But this
doesn't look at the history, only the current use. It gives you still some
idea, but its not perfect. But reading the history is not an option at the
moment, because this would need far more resources.
The number of users is also taking into account when creating the tag cloud
for the home page. This way some tags from imports which are very common in
the database but have a small user count are downgraded. :-)

Is it planned to have users count for the individual key pages? It can
be interesting to see how popular common_key=some_exotic_value really is.
Sometimes it is used frequently, but by a single mapper only.
