Kill off large tag descriptions?

Hi again,

I would like to hear if anybody uses the large descriptions
in PelTag
of the individual tags?

I don't like them and I'm thinking of dropping them because:

* They are more or less verbatim copies from the Exif
specification,
  so I guess it is a violation of their copyright to include
them.

* They refer to examples, tables, and figures from the Exif
  specification which means that some of the descriptions
doesn't make
  much sense by themselves.

* They're marked as translatable, but I don't expect anybody
to ever
  work all the way through them.

* They are somewhat large. I just trimmed the file down to
45 KiB from
  111 KiB. To that one should add the savings from the
smaller .po
  files and API docs.


Any arguments for or against?
