There was discussion about the contact: prefix... now how about the
"access" tags?

There are a lot of them, and trying to gather and present them is very hard:

hov
boat
motorboat
canoe
bulk
tanker
mofa
moped
dog
hazmat
bicycle
imdg
ice_skates
...
...
...


These could be mechanically retagged into a namespace:

access:hov=yes
access:boat=yes
access:motorboat=yes
access:canoe=yes
access:bulk=yes
access:tanker=yes
access:mofa=no
access:moped=yes
access:dog=yes
access:hazmat=destination
access:bicycle=customers
access:imdg=yes
access:ice_skates=designated


Or perhaps semicolons:

access:designated=bicycle

access:no=dog;mofa;moped;canoe;ice_skates



And perhaps a small set of "superclasses" could emerge,
for use in rendering:

foot
watercraft
human_powered_vehicle
motor_vehicle
motor_cycle
heavy_motor_vehicle

mobility_aid (e.g. wheelchair)

animal

With the present rich set of tags showing up at level three or more:

access:animal=yes
access:animal:cat=no
access:animal:dog=designated

Thoughts?
