Hmm.  That's what I've been saying.  Developers need guidance to give 
the ignorant users the interface they need to tag their oggs.  Users 
don't necessarily have to read it, but developers do.  I think they can 
handle it.  There can be different documents for developers and users, 
if you'd like.  The user document would probably be much cleaner, with 
more examples, etc.

Why do you say its pointless?  I've already argued why I think it *is* 
important.

Absolutely!  We're just trying to get it settled and out of the way. 
That's what we all want.
