Well, if this particular way of tagging things is generally supported by data 
consumers, then I would consider it a documentation error instead of a tagging 
error.

 

But if it’s not used by data consumers in this form (while the same information 
on a relation is), and clearly the people creating these tags intended them to 
be usable, then I would consider a tagging error.

 

So, yeah, I would say that “tagging error” IS in a part defined by data 
consumers.

 

The “correct” way of tagging something is in the end defined by a somewhat 
nebulous consensus between the way people tag and the way data consumers 
interpret that data.

So my question is, is this type of tagging actually supported by data 
consumers, or are these 9000 tagging errors?

 

"tagging error" is not defined by whatever something is used by data consumers 
or not

 

In Poland I see some route=emergency_access that seems to be OK (though there 
may be 

a better way to tag this and type=route in this case is pointless).
