A year on, the vestigial -::data:- is still there:

 made-of::TODO
 made-of::data:audio
 made-of::data:dictionary
 made-of::data:font
 made-of::data:html
 made-of::data:icons
 made-of::data:info
 made-of::data:man
 made-of::data:pdf
 made-of::data:postscript
 made-of::data:sgml
 made-of::data:svg
 made-of::data:tex
 made-of::data:vrml
 made-of::data:xml

A recap of the longstanding problems in the debtags vocabulary:
* made-of:: is redundantly made-of::data:;
* culture:: is misnamed and misorganised;
* filetransfer:: is an entire superfluous facet;
* many other tags are redundantly available under different facets
	(making the archives harder to tag and harder to search).
