If you look at these threads, there are tons of people issuing completely incompatible interpretations of these tags. I'm not alone, at all, in these opinions, at all. In fact, even announcing that crossing=uncontrolled only makes a statement about ground markings seemed to generate quite a lot of disagreement, as many focus on the "controlled" vs. "uncontrolled" aspect of the values rather than the wiki-stated meaning. How shall we consolidate these differently-mapped tags, in the wild? As a data consumer, If I interpret crossing=uncontrolled to mean crossing=marked, it seems that I will be wrong a not insignificant amount of the time amount of the time. Anyways, please keep insults to yourself, they are not helpful.
