Rory, I am actually hopping data items could become a general preset storage for all editors. Each preset would be stored as a data item, and editors would use a script to convert preset into a JSON file, or eventually use it directly. This approach has a number of advantages: * easy to edit by community, track changes, and fix/revert in case of an error * easy to translate - one click description editing for every possible language * easy to verify / validate / cross-check - there are many ways to query presets and to run validations on them, so an invalid preset can be quickly fixed/reverted * part of wiki - presets can be viewed as part of the regular wiki pages, e.g. on a Tag:... page * easy to add pictures and icons - part of wiki, or from commons - just another property * easy to categorize/partition presets - just another property to add preset into a category, or have a whole category tree. * easy to extend schema - just add more properties to target a new editor feature - other editors will simply ignore it. * ties with all other keys / tags / relations / relation roles -- if a preset requires a tag, it is not a string, it is actually a reference to that tag, with its own properties. * easy to build custom UI -- structured data allows developers to have custom editors for those presets Obviously this has to be done in a non-disruptive, gradual way, and having good quality control. I'm still researching on the best way to achieve this. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Data_items
