Because diet:... is approved people are suddenly allowed to write on
both the cuisine page and the diet:... page that you shouldn't use
cuisine=vegetarian?

As far as I'm concerned the above 2 tags have 2 different meaning:
cuisine=vegetarian is a restaurant that specialises in serving vegetarian food 
and you won't get meat there.
Whereas diet:vegetarian is a restaurant that has a reasonable vegetarian 
selection in their menu and could serve fish and meat etc.

cuisine=vegetarian is unhelpful, as it doesn't tell you what the cuisine actually is. ie is it vegetarian Indian food, or Chinese, or wholefoods, or baked potatoes or falafel etc. So better to use the cuisine tag for those.

If you want to say a restaurant is entirely vegetarian, you can tag it as diet:vegetarian=only.
