May be not in "The Official Spec" but it certainly needs to be
somewhere, because otherwise people would tag the same information
differently ("last-modified", "last-change", "updated"), then
destroying its utility. The OpenStreetMap example (you can invent new
tags but you should use the official ones, when relevant) is certainly
pertinent.

Nobody imposes anything, Gemini has no armed forces.
