It appears that people have been using "car" as a key for this
purpose. Should I use that, and add an appropriate entry below
motorcar=*?
There is clearly a key needed for this class of vehicles, so why
not just use "car".
Martin thinks, and I kinda agree, that "motorcar" and "car" would be
confusing.
I think there's three potential ways forward:
o Change the meaning of "motorcar" to only refer to cars, not
trucks, busses, etc. This would require a new tag for all double
tracked motorized vehicles to be introduced. "motorcar" has been
used over 200,000 times, so this would cause some confusion.
o Introduce a new tag for "two-tracked, small passenger vehicles".
"car" would seem a natural fit, except for the potential confusion
with "motorcar"
o Deprecate "motorcar" and introduce two new tags for "double
tracked motorized vehicles" and "two-tracked, small passenger
vehicles". It is not obvious to me what these tags should be called
to avoid confusion.
Given these options, I still like "car" best.
