Hi

thats fine to a point -I know its a much more relaxed than the other 
musicbrainz data. But its meant to be shared with others isnt it, surely 
its worth getting to some kind of consensus for some things,  thats the 
point of these pages
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/FolksonomyTagging and 
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/UserTagsStandards isnt it
