I am one of those who didn't bother to look what it's about. I share the wish to tag crannogs as important historical structures still existing today. I share the criticism that _type does not mean anything. At the same time I don't care if it is there or not; settlement=* also does not say what kind of categorisation is used for the values. But the settlement key ius already in (scarce) use for something else, with values yes and no.
As for implicit approval of the higher tags, fine with me! They are in actual use in a scheme, and for me that is good enough. If anyone would start a separate vote for that, fine. If the current vote is postponed till after, fine, it is the royal way I think, but I think it is not necessary. I think we can be practical about this, not principal. It's just not big enough.
