I agree that it is time to moderate the size of the Map Features page and follow what is writen in the introduction: "This page contains a core recommended feature set and corresponding tags." But this implies to modify and split the templates and duplicate the work for all translations (currently between 15 and 20 !). It would be a good opportunity to re-arrange the existing page "Approved Features" : rename it as "Other Features", link it clearly from the "Map Feature" header and create similar groups. The next problem is that nobody is able to claim that a tag belongs to a core feature or not... although some of them seem to be obvious and have been already listed here (bus_guideway, etc). Also tagwatch could help in that way. But if tagwatch can show the (un)popularity of old documented tags, it cannot help for new tags. Finally, to stop this edit war, I would suggest to move the page Smoothness out of the "Map Features" and re-open a discussion from the proposal. But I would also show the fact that it was approved by keeping the entry in the "Approved Features" with a note that strong oppositions and open issues have to be fixed before it goes to the "Map Features".
