This is going in the wrong direction IMHO.

There is no limit to the number of vehicles that could be defined in  
this way. What about armored_tanks=yes ? :-)
I think it's a mistake to use tags that depend on anything but the  
terrain. For example, terrain=*. That would tell people what they want  
to know from a map, namely what the terrain is like, not what kind of  
vehicle someone thinks can go there.

My 2 cents.
