Sounds very esoteric, and it will also create a huge inflation of node 
tags (something that has been done with TIGER as well - TIGER comprises 
80% of OSM data volume but that's not beause the US is so big, just 
because every node carries a kilobyte of tags...).

No, but I'm sure it could be arranged.

Most renderers don't render stuff they do not understand, so you'd just 
have to make sure your tags are "out of this world" ;-)
