I'm not quite sure if that has been discussed yet with three places for discussion to chose from, but the proposal has a rather big flaw in my eyes: historic=* is one of these keys that is used as a primary key to define the object but also frequently seen as a property for other objects to mark them as historic. In contrast to other keys, there doesn't even seem to be any clear distinction for single values if they are meant to be used as a property or a main tag. Random example: historic=manor. About 77% of objects tagged with historic=manor have a building=* tag, which makes perfect sense. A manor is a building after all. So it looks like historic=manor is more of a property tag to a building. But what about the 23% other manors that are not tagged as building? Is a historic=manor without a builing=* tag meant to be used as a primary key? I would expect that an apporved wiki page to historic=* mentions this problem and gives some guidance to mappers and data users how to handle this situation.
