The problem about proposal pages is that they can be infinitely
theoretical, non-verifiable or outright insane. So telling a mapper
who is thinking about inventing a new tag to search the proposals if
there is one that already covers what they want to do is not
practicable. Because even if
I agree with Christoph -- every tag used in OSM data must be documented --
otherwise it has near-zero value.. Actually negative value because it
confuses people -- some might want to delete it, but they don't know if it
is useful, so they just leave it there almost indefinitely.
In an ideal world
I agree that they should be documented. It's true that it can be hard
to find proposal page features when searching the wiki, but I find it
hard to find anything with the current search feature (often it's
easier to use taginfo and find the wiki links that way).
