Wait a second. I'm the one arguing for "sane defaults" to make sensible decisions where there is no explicit layer tag. You're the one arguing that people should act in a certain way, always using an explicit tag. Just saying.

You are unlikely to convince me that ignoring the wiki and letting it rot is the right solution to any tagging problem.
