This is bad example. We have many tags with their own semantic:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Key_Variations We don't need
name_1, name_2 or name#1 or name#2 keys.

> name=*
> name#2=*
> name#3=*
There no point in using indexes in key. You need semantic subkey:
color, length, size, visibility. Not meaningless integers. Again, my
example several messages earlier:

name=purple
name#2=orange
name#3=green

How do you query for green in overpass? In JOSM?

And what if for another object you will have different set of tags with
different order?
name=black
name#2=green
name#3=white

Again name is bad example,
