By introducing an abstract interface layer with your own objects, that 
is your own internal standard, into which all the "messy" present 
standards would be translated. This is easy. Then you play with *your* 
objects, your program is not directly dependent on the OSM PT standards. 
Any changes to the standards will require only a few lines of code to 
the abstract interface layer.


BTW Data consistency is not as important as it used to be 15 years ago. 
We primarily have to make sure that no contradicting standards exists. 
Of course, this conversation still does make sense, because we want to 
have a clear standard for beginners, and for our own ease of use (and fun).
