Agreed.

For my own use I've been doing it for a while, ever since (some) people 
started using it:

You could argue that prefixing all access tags with "access:" might 
"make it easier for mappers", but only if you simultaneously submit 
patches for iD, P2, JOSM, Vespucci, et al, _and_ get a general concensus 
that the existing accepted values should be mechanically edited.  Good 
luck with that.

Cheers,
