[Tagging] highway=service major type sub-classification - mini vote

[Michał Brzozowski]

I think you miss the point. When there's no service key, you have no
idea whether it doesn't fit in the current set of (parking_aisle,
driveway...), or it is indeed but hasn't been tagged because the
mapper didn't provide this information. It's an informational
consistency problem, peculiarity of the way we handle things, namely
non-distinction between "inapplicable" and "unknown".
