Just as Bryan does, I can see supporting special casing transit relations (as we already have to do the same for turn restrictions). I am -very- reluctant to support one-off tag semantics that require special code to handle them.
Note with respect to the parallel discussion on tagging systematics, this kind of thing is multiple orders of magnitude worse than inconsistencies in tag naming and so on (which at least from an editor pov can typically handled by configuration in a preset).
