What a nice map we would get :

  * way: addr:housenumber=1; my_tag=nothing_known_elsewhere; render=pink
  * way: addr:housenumber=2; other_tag=known_only_by_me; render=yellow
  * way: addr:housebumber=3; my_private_tag=dont_use_it; render=violet
  * way: addr:housebumber=4; unique_tag=only_taginfo_knows_me; render=green
  * ...

This map already exists :
