I was referring to Andy's example where both tags are on the same object

I have done similar, but never felt it an ideal situation. it ends up 
with three detached objects representing one establishment. Where would 
you add the FHRS:ID tag?

I try & do 'the duck test'. I ask 'what is it most known for' If it's a 
pub, which happens to have a few rooms, then amenity=pub, 
accommodation=yes, & alternatively tourism=hotel, bar=yes
