This issue has a long history... seems to me tagging awaits rendering, and rendering awaits tagging. In such cases, you need a commitment from both sides, with enough support to fuel trust. Then things can get rolling.
I am pretty sure about the tagging side - the problem is recognized, there are ideas, and I think a solution can be found whether over left or over right. I am not sure about the rendering side. There's no use in tagging a lot then throw it at the renderers and hearing: nice try, can't be done, or: fine, we'll see if someone picks it up next century. Ok, exaggerated, but wouldn't it be better to engage earlier and get a commitment and lay out a road map? 2018-06-06 11:58 GMT+02:00 Martin Koppenhoefer <[email protected]>: > > > sent from a phone > > On 5.
