It's trivial.

Xxzme is one of those mappers who try to design tagging rules which simplify
software development, by making assumptions instead of asking those who
know. The resulting tagging rules are actually a burden for both mappers and
developers alike. People like him would better focus on aspects they are
familiar with. OSM is a collaborative project after all.
