It means, there is a administratively declared set of "recommended
tags" on http://openfontlibrary.fontly.org/submit/typeface which we
ought to discuss here, and a machine generated set of "popular" tags.

No, indeed. Ben just put a quick list there, and the list needs to
discuss what should be there.

Sure! :-)

Would you translate these into the following tags?

Scientific, Scholarly, Artistic, Pan Unicode, The Americas, Africa,
Europe, Europa, Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia, East Asia,
Southeast Asia

> For the URL format, should it not be something more like the following instead?:

I added that to the wiki TODO page.
