While there was not global concordance on all issues relating waterway and land tagging, there was substantial concordance, and quite a few participants, including a number of seamark mappers. In other words, several steps forward, more to go. Unlike in the xkcd cartoon, the 14 old standards don't have to keep existing. The number of different styles can be reduced if not to one, then to less than many. In the case of holding tank tagging at least what's left is semantically clear: previously four distinct features were routinely mapped to indistinguishable tags. I don't want to pull a boat or motorhome up to a dog waste trash bin, and nor does anyone else. Waiting for the grand unified scheme could be an xkcd cartoon of its own.
