I like the description of the tagging list as the Golgafrinch B Ark :-)
... and I did not have to look it up.
And I agree that highway=path is not a good tag, even though I use it.
I hope the OSMwiki is better than the Golgafrinch B Ark! Hope. As in I'm
not certain.
Regarding traffic sign key/values .. I personal would prefer all these
to be human readable. And yes I see the argument as to why it is not,
but I reject it.

Richard, you are entirely forgiven. Thanks for your contributions. I
had to look up "Golgafrincham B Ark" but unfortunately I can see your
point...
Have a good weekend

No.
So you are saying that any discussions on the mailing lists are
just distractions as the real decisions are taken elsewhere.
Where would that be then?
They're not expressly "taken elsewhere". Generally, good practice in
OSM -
whether in tagging, development, or whatever - _evolves_ from clued-up
people doing things well, documenting what they do, and others adopting
these practices. Endless tagging debates on this list and the wiki don't
help this process, and often hinder it by replacing this natural
selection
process with arbitrary mechanisms such as voting.
In other words, tagging@ and the wiki are the Golgafrincham B Ark of OSM.
You'll forgive me for not answering the remainder of the six
questions but
it's Friday and I too am now losing the will to live. :|
