It's also a tiny fraction of the mapping community, which is sad. -------------------- *"Published" *in this sense means published on the wiki, a resource that is referenced by editing tools, but not considered authoritative. OSM has an open tagging system, and mappers are free to pick their own conventions. Decision makers for rendering software are free to pick from the tag soup, and render only select details. A successful tag proposal often involves much more than just wiki publishing. *"Approved"* means approved the tagging mailing list participants, a small fraction of the OSM community.
