[Tagging] Super-keys are evil

The editing tools have a role here, with iD leading the way.

With iD one writes the thing, for example a "bathroom".
The editor matches this to available tags and lets you choose.
It even hides the actual tag name (amenity=toilet most likely in this case).

Thus with a good set of aliases, the actual tag name becomes unimportant to
remember.
