Calling pipelines waterway=pressurized because it would be easier for you
to extract it and render it makes this tagging for the renderer. Tags
should be as consistent as possible for the mappers, not data consumers. If
a mapper sees a pipeline, and you tell him "tag that as
waterway=pressurized because then my SQL query can be nice and short" the
mapper is going to get annoyed and quit. If it's a pipeline, tag it as a
man_made=pipeline, and that's it. Somebody else can tag the type of a
pipeline, but nobody is suposed to think about SQL queries when mapping.
