It would be interesting for me to hear the exact reasons why do you 
think that?

I would also like to know how do you think should we talk about the 
relations between tagging and rendering in an acceptable way?

Rendering is my primary motivation to look at these tags and I see 
nothing wrong with being open about it. This is one of many rendering 
styles and one of many uses of OSM data, and data consuming is also 
important thing to consider. Not the most important, but still something 
to think about.

When designing tags we think about different problems - if it's easy for 
a mapper to tag, if the system is coherent, if the names are clear, so 
thinking about classification is equally valid for me - and it's good to 
know why the classification might be needed at all. I don't talk about 
data analysis, because I don't do that, but I suspect classification 
would help that too.
