I hope they someday adopt it. Have a variety of tags concerning quality and let people filter with those tags. Anyone can form a group and each group would have its own tags that only that group can change. In this specific case some people can form a no vandalism group and tag data that looks to be vandalism free. People looking at the data could then filter based on the reputation of the groups. -- http://bowlad.com
