I believe the tagging should contain all the information required to render a map according to local standards (if this is desired), but it should not “hijack” globally established tags to make every “global” standard renderer produce maps according to local expectations. This would not work because there are also other uses of the data than rendering a map image.

Not sure if osmf-talk is the best place to discuss this kind of question
