Voting is a valuable process. Discussions, while valuable, can go on and on forever; at some point you need to get a more definitive up or down for what the community thinks of a given proposal, though of course people can use whatever tags they want. Depending on how you define "vast majority", I'd say their tagging practices are definitely impacted (but not defined) by the votes, as they impact (but not define) the presets of JOSM/Potlatch/etc, and thus impact (but not define) how contributors (especially casual ones) tag objects. If we'd like to change terminology from vote to poll and approved to consensus then I'd be fine with that. -Josh _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
