Have now found the annotation preset feature, and used Etienne's as a test.

What would be good though is for the user to be able to select a type of way 
(e.g. "public footpath") and be able to map that to a whole *set* of tags,  
so that selecting "public footpath" instantly tags the way with both foot=yes 
and highway=footway.

e.g.

<!-- map public footpath to foot=yes; highway=footway -->

<item name="public footpath">
<tag k="highway" v="footway" />
<tag k="foot" v="yes" />
</item>

<item name="permissive footpath">
<tag k="highway" v="footway" />
<tag k="foot" v="permissive" />
</item>

<item name="public bridleway">
<tag k="foot" v="yes" />
<tag k="horse" v="yes" />
<tag k="bicycle" v="yes" />
<tag k="highway" v="bridleway" />
</item>

<item name="A road">
<tag k="highway" v="primary" />
</item>

Thoughts on this?
