actually I am not completely sure about the "overload" problem, because we
already do it elsewhere (might be a problem there as well), e.g. the key
"bus" is not reserved to access-tagging alone, it is also used to declare
the type of stop in the public transport alternative tagging (which didn't
ultimately manage to takeover).

"private hire" seems to be a very established term, you can find something
in wikipedia and if you search for it with a searchengine you'll get only
pertinent results in the first pages. No "_vehicle" postfix typically. We
could add it still, because OSM tags are not only used by natives, but it
is definitely longer ;-)

yes, I think its time to move over to the wiki and set up a proposal.

Thanks all for your input, I'll post a link here when I've a draft for the
proposal.

Cheers,
