You say that as though restrictions are absolutely, in every case, bad.

You might also want to actually read the proposal: "Compliant tag 
editors and rippers may support tags not in these recommendations, but 
should encourage use of recommended tags over tags not in this document."

The Proposal is a *compromise* of a variety of conflicting values: 
flexibility, readability, maintainability, usability, community, 
individuality, etc.
