It may not be perfectly "semantically clean", but it poses no difficulties in terms of implementation in editors, renderers etc. So, this works fine: man_made=tower tower=radio_mast One test to apply when considering stuff like this: what would happen if a renderer supported "man_made=tower" but none of the sub-tags. Would it be the end of the world if a radio mast and an air traffic control tower were rendered the same?

The only risk is that more often, the thing doesn't get rendered at all, because it's yet one more tag that everything needs to support.
