Continuing dispute between the two groups
I was suggesting that a state of peaceful co-existence can be achieved - Our editors will not alter or remove tags that are not ours, and hopefully this will be reciprocated.

Nice renderers and editors do not just materialize - they have to be written by the members of the sub-projects. This is the crux of the matter - after having spend considerable time developing those tools, based on a particular set of tag definitions, any later suggestion that we should change them is not going to receive an enthusiastic response!
As far as users are concerned, editors remove the need to manually edit tags, thus no knowledge of the tagging scheme is necessary. As to the question of which scheme to use - choose the editor that will place your work onto the map overlay that you want to see it on.
PS: there has been a recent update of the OpenSeaMap JOSM plugin ("toms"). This is now in the OSM repository, so it can be installed using the JOSM Preferences dialogue. The accompanying Mappaint styles will shortly be installable by this method also.
