Tagwatch shows only a couple of uses in Europe and none in North
America, so there's little precedent.
After thinking about it, I'd rather use the existing railway tags:
Key:electrified, Key:voltage, and Key:frequency. This would also take
care of properly mapping when the same wire is shared by trolleys and
trams.
