Interesting tagging theory there. So I can only tag:

highway=road

because you need to know what function the road has to give it a 
hierarchy value? and:

highway=path

because you need to know what function it has before you can tag it 
footway or cycleway? and:

building=yes

and let's not forget:

man_made=tower

because you need to know what function a structure has before you can 
tag it man_made=lighthouse.
