Maybe the word "marker" rather than trail_blaze. Then it could be used
equally be more formal, permanent trail markers.

tourism=information
information=trail_marker

OTOH, information=trail_blaze already has 925 uses, so perhaps that's
the de facto standard already.

Btw, I think using "support" this way is a French-ism. I don't
immediately have a better suggestion, maybe
"information:attached_to=tree".
