Glad to see someone picks this up! :-)

I think "photorealistic" was preferred. It makes the tag more generic
and not limited to style in the sense of this concept.

No, I don't think so.

That sounds reasonable to me.

I think coloring_book and lineart should not be exclusive: lineart is
more general, whereas coloring_book tags pieces of lineart that are
useful for coloring books.

What do others think?
