:D doesn't apply to posts like post #4352562, where one eye is closed, because ;D exists for that.
Likewise, :D shouldn't apply to posts like post #4352693, where both eyes are closed, and is thus a good reason for |D to exist.
Furthermore, the | character is shown as 2 lines instead of a solid line in some fonts, which looks like closed eyes.

I think if we're keeping the tag, this is common sense to approve. Personally, I don't mind it for the same reason as ;d, and have started incorporating it into my tagging. It is severely untagged, though, and I suspect practicality will end up becoming the main argument against it. I doubt anyone will want to go through the 47605 posts that make up a -|d :d closed_eyes search to switch them over.
Well, the point of this topic was not whether this tag has a place on Danbooru, it was to add an implication that describes the expression the tag represents...
Since as it's currently used for closed_eyes + a "D"-shaped mouth, the focus should be on that fact, and I am against getting rid of this and similar tags.
