this logic is massively used and yet I had a hard time finding a link 
whose content is limited to a line and an example

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Any_tags_you_like#Syntactic_conventions_for_new_tags

There's a common pattern of *iterative refinement* in use in many 
tagging schemes, which has the advantage that the scheme can grow over 
time to be more and more descriptive whilst still being 
backwards-compatible: highway=crossing crossing=uncontrolled

it would probably be useful to better document it

Regards,
Marc
