Why don't you continue to use network=* ? Invent a new value for network= 
instead of introducing a new, but confusing tag called "network_type".

I understand that using network_type would be easier. You just add the tag to 
the already tagged node networks that are currently using network=rwn.

But is introducing a new tag "network_type=" really the best solution? Or is it 
the easiest solution?
