What's the current thinking in general on what we should do with the
description tag? From what I gather the consensus is generally to avoid
anything which might be seen as an opinion, so far example serves
Dunbridge Ales might be seen as valid whilst serves Dunbridge Ales, and
I strongly recommend Old Wizzle as it's the finest in the district might
be a no-no. Likewise serves Sunday lunches, ok serves particularly
high-quality food not.
The description tag is my baby and I'd like to see it widely
used. I'd be happy to see an anything-goes-policy here, I think this
would be a place where a human touch does not hurt. It is difficult
to divide opinion from qualitative assessment in just a few free form words.
BTW, I've also been experimenting with name spacing on the
description tag to tighten up relevancy. For example
description:bicycle= to target particular map users or
description:history for specific categories of information. A
description:opinion could be the way to go.
Just my personal opinion, also interested to see what other folks think,
Mike
