[Tagging] How to put a name tag on an area with more than one type?

[Anders Torger]

Like every Swede I have climbed the mountain, so I do have some local 
knowledge :-). There is an arete there, that's correct, but it's not 
named. Kebnekaise is the name of the mountain. It's Sami lands, as far 
as I understand the names of the mountains came first, then the names of 
the peaks came much later when people got interested in mountaineering, 
hence often anonymous names like "the grand peak", "the south peak" etc. 
In the past noone had time to entertain themselves with climbing 
mountains for fun :-).

If we go to lower mountains in Sweden then peaks generally fit better as 
then people were closer around and hence say 90% of the time the 
mountain name is also the peak name. But sometimes there's a situation 
when the mountain has more than one peak, none of which is named, but 
the mountain is named. There's also situations where there are multiple 
nearby small peaks with separate names, and then the all have a group 
name, without really being a huge massif (the example I'm thinking about 
all small peaks are within 5 km on a single mountain).
