As Frederik has already pointed out, a proposal and the perhaps the following "stamp of approval" is not necessary for using a tag, some documentation would be nice but not required. So nothing in my suggestion limits which tags can be used, it just rate limits the influx of proposals that actually want attention, so they can actually get it.
