[OSM-talk-be] designation key

[Marc Gemis]

I am under the impression that the designation key is misused a lot in
Belgium. It's used for descriptions, notes, names, etc. (see
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/nW )

It's hardly used for its intended purpose:

The tag designation=* is used to record the legal classification of a way.
(see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:designation   UK-only ?.)

Or is there another definition/use of designation that I'm not aware of ?
