I would not negate that a mast can be tapered.

If this is the reason why we need a distinction, I'd rather use tags that
state it, then rely on some indirect fuzzy mast/tower distinction.
man_made=broadcast_tower vs. man_made=cellphone_tower (for example).
Certainly, choosing "communication tower" for both types but under
different keys wasn't  a solution that satisfies our requirements (reduce
confusion and be easily applicable while allowing to distinguish what
people want to distinguish).

Cheers,
