Would be nice for OSR players to be able to search for content catered for them. I’m sure searching for ‘Rules-light’ and ‘Gamist’ would do the trick, but consumers probably won’t consider that.

It’s not a bad idea. My hesitation is that “OSR” is defined as many different things by many different people, which means it doesn’t have a unified, globally understood meaning that all consumers would look for. The Playstyles taxonomy already includes a lot of the things that people generally think about when they say something is OSR.
Maybe OSR would be better as a Genre label, instead of Playstyle? That might be a little more meaningful, since it is used as a more general term than just how a game is played.

I’ve gone ahead and added “OSR” to the Genre taxonomy, so you can use it there. I feel like that’s the most appropriate place for it.
