I don't much care either. I'm generally in the "standards" rather than the "anarchist" camp, but I don't care what things are called. I'm just as happy with true, yes or 1 in this case. The problem here is that most of the tools are the opposite, so chances are these changes are pointless and will tend to drift back again over time. I'd still like to see a middle ground where tags can be added and amended at will but through a schema of some kind so the current position is documented and can be checked. But that's not what I was getting at here. > But like you, the time making the change is wasted. Far more productive > to go and map something. My point exactly.
