[OSM-talk] new payment type

Hello all,

I was wondering what people's thoughts were on adding a new payment type of
transponder.  For the road toll section, there are three transponder
companies listed (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:payment):

payment:e_zpass=*
payment:pikepass=*
payment:via_verde=*

So instead of listing all the companies in the world, I am proposing
payment:transponder=*  The values could be e_zpass, pikepass, via_verde,
peach_pass, etc., but also yes or no.

This payment type would be very helpful in routing applications for toll
roads.  For example, the narrative could call out Exit 2b [Coin and
Transponder(Via Verde) Only Accepted].

Thanks.
