'Endorsed' is just another way of saying approved. We need to remove this status that 'some authority' has given their blessing to use the tag.

'Published' is a useful statement which demonstrates community discussion and some consensus but nothing else.

One more idea: why do we need a binary outcome of the voting? Something like endorsement= positive/neutral/negative (the current approve, abstain, reject) as an indicator tells much more (together with tag use). Examples:

  * Endorsement=50/0/2 - very good, important tag (much involvement) -
    go on and use
  * Endorsement=10/0/1 - good tag, of interest to a small group - go
    on and use
  * Endorsement=35/4/28 - not a very good tag, but about an important
    topic - nothing better possible?
  * Endorsement = 4/0/3 - not a very good tag, but few people care -
    use as you see fit

    Will it be clear for new mappers what the difference is between
    published and documented (i.e. someone created a wiki page that
    describes a tag without voting or one that didn't collect enough
    votes)? Wouldn't endorsed be better?
