This is also about focus, i.e. stating what are the key properties that must be met. Wikipedia articles tend to get longer by the time, and I don't want mappers to be required to read long articles to get to know the meaning of a tag, or to have continuous minor changes to the meaning of a tag which might sum up to more substantial changes by the time, without actual mappers making those changes. cheers, Martin
