:-D

I meant the same order of magnitude.

> I don’t follow the 2 tags are easier than 1  tag philosophy, especially as the 2 usually contain at least one key that is only used in a very narrow field (like castle_type here), and as not all specific things that are squeezed into a generic term (here castle) will typically be considered instances of “term” (you can see this also in tower:type).

It's not "easier" in general - for example more typing is harder, of 
course. It's just easier to categorize when tagging ("is it stately or 
manor? Well, historic=palace covers both") and rendering ("I will cover 
the historic=castle with one generic icon, at least all the subtypes 
will be visible").

But this is not my main concern. I want to know what to do with two 
proper schemes documented on the Wiki which apparently describe the same 
type of object - no matter if it's expressed with one or more tags.
