Hi Martin,

If you really ask me how to deal with context and disambiguation, I would say:
- we should use (optional/under the hood) namespace for cascaded tags.

type=route
+ [type:]route=bus
+ [type:][route:]bus=minibus

highway=*
+ [access:]bus=yes/no
(under the hood, really it could be
[access:][vehicle:][motor_vehicle:][psv:]bus=*)

So, I guess, yes: I suggest to use the same tags in different ways,
according to the context.
If this is too much trouble (for the wiki, API, wherever?) then it
could be route:bus=minibus with compulsory namespace.
Then bus=* stays only a legal access restriction and nothing collides.
