Sure it is - I know I can drive down a road, I don't know that I can drive
down any arbitrary highway feature.

Yes, I dislike the current overloading of tags, but I don't think
that is going to change soon. Andy Allan asked me to put together a wiki
page with respect to the namespacing discussion, which I haven't had time
to do yet, but overloading tags like "highway" is one of the things I'd
like to address on that page when I get chance.
