are you sure? Why are they human readable then, using actual words? Wouldn't it be more efficient to use binary code?

Empty values are not valid for keys, it means the key will be removed, at least this is common understanding and what editors do, although I couldn't find it in the API docs: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Tags


cheers,
