There are many different tagging methods in OSM. And no universal
view as to what is best. <br>
Unfortunately that is a failing of the 'any tags you like', it is
also a strength in that you can immediately tag something for which
there is no existing tag - you simply make one up. <br>
Any tag that is 'made up' on the spot may not be a great tag, it
will do until something better comes along. <br>
I think any tag that is made up on the spot needs (later) to be
discussed, improved if possible and then documented. <br>
<br>
Welcome to the struggle of getting better tags. There are many
different views ... pick the best for you. <br>
