 Could someone precise me why abbreviations should always be avoided in
 tagging please ?


 This is already explained at length in the wiki, but chiefly because it
 disambiguates things a lot.  Data consumers can create abbreviations from
 full words, but expanding abbreviations accurately in an automated fashion
 is about as hard as writing a program that can pass a Turing test.

 Indeed.  This was driven home for me when my GPS announced You have
arrived at your destination, the Cathedral of Street Paul.

[Tagging] Tagging for checkpoints?

[Nathan Oliver]

This agricultural inspection station [1] has the tag barrier=checkpoint,
which OSRM appears to interpret as access=no. [2]  Is this a bug in the
router, or should additional/different tags be used?

I've consulted the wiki, and can't find anything definitive about how this
should tagged.  Any suggestions?  I'm tempted to simply add access=yes,
since I'm pretty sure that everyone is allowed to pass (unless they have
forbidden produce), but I thought I'd consult the crowd.
