No.  He wants people to tag for the router, not the renderer.

I think that is a bad idea, although not as bad when most trunk roads 
weren't already mapped, as it is doing something for the convenience of 
a small number or routing software developers rather than a large number 
of mappers.

It could be argued that the current approach is actually tagging for the 
renderer, except that the details in question don't get rendered in the 
standard rendering.

In practice, though, it is more likely that roads would have been 
mis-tagged if the most common case required extra permissions to be be 
explicitly added.
