Certainly not like that. I will start a new thread to discuss this idea more in detail. I think there's nothing wrong when we try to standardize tags and have a moment of retagging when we have a 1:1 substitution.

Means that if you look at the more and more popular way of tagging. It
is wiser to you this on this occassion and correct the alt fashion
tags. Last year the :right and :left subtag is a big use to a lot of
main tags like highway, cycleway and so on.

syntax: <main tag> : <sub tag> = *

Everytime creating a new main tag when you in fact want to add a sub
tag like fortification_type in stead of fortification:type is not very
efficient.
I plea for introducing the sub tag ":type" for using on fortification,
but also on e.g. museum (wild guess).

(And I think I already saw the sub tag came by: tree:type ?)

Probably a good idea Robert.
The main idea of my post was to show Ulf that using the proposed civilization and civilization:period-tags shouldn't be any harder than normally. The example
chosen by Ulf was something that probably is dealt with in:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Dcastle

and

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Darchaeological_site

and that is where I got the tags, I did not do any own thinking ragarding the
off-topic-tags.

Both of the wiki-pages above have plenty of.._type. Maybe a suggestion from you
on the discussion-page would come in handy.

If you look closely on my post, you can see that I had an alternative tagging
with tripple subtags:

historic:civilization:period:bronze age

and even another alternative with quadruple tagging

historic:civilization:Celtic:period:bronze age

I haven´t got the idea yet, but guess it isn´t supposed to be like that.
