How many "armchair mappers" know what a README
tag is or means? And, how would they see it, unless they examine
they tags? And, most casual mappers don't touch the tags
because it all looks too techy.

i didn't catch the change set early enough, and much of what was
in it was non-controversial and worthwhile.
i did send a note, haven't gotten a reply to it yet. don't know if i will,

yeah, that was what the README tags were for. they sort to the top
in the tag lists in Potlatch and JOSM, which is why i use them in
preference to note or description, both of which are easily overlooked.
