I don't think it's as easy as that. Other things to consider: - If there is an alternative tagging concept around, then the numbers need to be a lot higher. On the other hand, if a tag is universally considered a good idea, usage numbers don't matter as much. - A tag that is only used in a certain country or region is probably not a defacto standard yet (except for things that exist nowhere else). - Application and/or editor support is important, no tag can be considered fully established without it imo. To be honest, I doubt it's possible to put it into a formula. My personal interpretation of "defacto" is a tag that is used by a lot of mappers and applications throughout the world, and you can print it on a mug without having to worry that it might be outdated anytime soon. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
