Thanks, good work! The facets really needed some longer descriptions for
tooltips that would clarify what they mean: "facet" is quite a new
concept, so the more hints we can give, the better.

I've applied your patch to the official vocabulary.

Mostly they are annotations, not to be presented.

"Status" and "Comments" are annotations for vocabulary editors, not sure
how useful. I wouldn't remove them, but I wouldn't present them either.

"Nature" was some trippy experiment of mine which is about time to
remove (so I just did it).

"Responsible" is a way to track when people say "I want to take special
care of this tag/facet". However, nothing has really been done so far to
give special rights or tools to these people, so those tags are really
not sued. They could be still useful in case there is some argument
about one of those tags/facets, then in the vocabulary we have the email
address of a field expert to contact.

You're right, there are still those legacy tags around. It's high time
they are removed, I've done it now.


Ciao,
