osm isn't wikidata.
it's perfect fine to use P123=Q1234 for wikidata.

osm use "human readable" string , that's allow
the "any key you want/need"

nor should the wiki be a "osm-to-human translator"
like wikidata label do.
the wiki accompanies, helps, improves the understanding of tags,
it should not become a counter-intuitive tag bible for the sake of 
promoting anarchic tag organization
