Agreed. If you look at all of what I said, I was arguing that concerns
about how many types of things could be rendered should not prevent
detailed tagging. It is always possible to go from a complex data set
to a simplified rendering; going from a simple data set to a complex
rendering is frequently not possible.

There is an obvious limit to the number of types of icons that can
be rendered on any one map before it becomes incomprehensible.
Rendering can choose to use the same symbol for two tags.
One tag however can't become two symbols.
While the rendering has a huge impact on tagging, OSM is foremost a
data set: one that can be rendered various ways.
It's important to get good expressive data.
