You are trying to propose a mapping practise that is no real world
feature - and not consistent with "link" concept for other highway=*
We don't map for the router. Actually I don't see any added value in
this tag how this would improve or simplify a router program.
Why a new tag for something we already have and is solved simple and
broadly used with existing tags ?
I started your discussion page, find more details and examples for my
arguments on your discussion page :).
Greetings,
Bert Araali
