Hi Martin,

What does this relation look like ?
It's related to what devices=* is intended to but not similar.

>The Wiki article in the link describes only the suffix form of the devices
keyword. Therefore IMO the title of the page is misleading. I found only 2
instances of devices=* in Taginfo. Do you intend to expand the article or
restrict the use of the term devices as a standalone tag?

The devices=* key was introduced in this proposal, accepted last week
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Transformer_extension_proposal

Initially, i really want to introduce an universal key. Nevertheless, a
relevant comment during voting said that devices=* on transformers set on
top of a pole can be confusing: we don't know if devices=* is related to
pole or to transformers (or other features supported by the same pole).
It's not specific to transformers but everytime features are nested or
supported.
Then, the key is devices=* but the example use it as a suffix in this
particular case.
I will find situations where transformers are installed on floor and then,
only devices=* will have to be used. It can be used with telephones or bins
also...

Is there any problem regarding that ?

All the best

François
