Hi Martin,
I have no clue what you mean with "downloaded the other day all objects",
I just adjusted a couple of objects (~5) whose tagging was very erratic.
In a lot of wiki descriptions is mentioned to "just act" if necessary.
I've taken the most common parameters and combined them with the most
obvious (existing) key.
That's not rocket science... ;-)
If someone feels that this should be documented more specific he/her is
free to do so.
I think we will discourage a bunch of potentially interested
contributors to add anything
if some request a discussion / proposal ("doctorate") for every slight
adjustment/documentation update.
There are some (older) opinions here, I think this should be followed up:

One example :
Yeah. The mailing list is kind of daunting. It seems to get a zillion
messages a day, but if I want to cut to the chase and discuss a new
feature I feel it will be lost in the noise. Meanwhile the wiki has
perfectly adequate features around watchlists and discussion pages that
don't require me to parse all that noise just to hear the one
conversation that I am interested in. Karora 10:39, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
