That's irrelevant; you're still changing data across the planet.

Data consumers still need to know if the data is changing beneath their feet, though.

Your last post on the tagging list:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05221.html
says "So service=drive_through it is?". It does not say "OK, chaps, I'm now going to change all the data on the planet to match the 'drive_through' spelling"

Even if it had have said that, people would still need to be monitoring the tagging list, or reading the revision history of "service=drive through" (note the wiki-induced misspelling) and reading the link from there to www.mail-archive.com.

In terms of clarity that's up there with the Douglas Adams' "on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of The Leopard'."
