There was a lot of comments, so I might miss something - could you 
remind these cases?

I think I have shown that nature reserve is always about protection (but 
not about leisure, so current namespace is wrong).

Having only simple tagging makes it hard to create any meaningful 
classification system.

For admin levels we also use some "magic" numbers instead of human 
readable tags ("state", "province", "county") and that system is 
working. It also is easier to parse, hence consume the data.
