Neverthess I can't imagine OSM with single-key objects as a principle. +1 with Martin : if occasional mappers want to reduce their typing time, they will use presets in convenient editors like iD or JOSM. This argument comes on many discussions and oppose kind of simplicity to semantic consistency. Tagging with several consistent tags could be more easily handled and versatile than one single key mixing concepts for reasons that are not necessarily shared by the whole community. However, this proposal will be reworked to take care of this batch of comment, it's appreciable we can discuss these points here.

One mapper will describe what she/he sees, and a second will complete with her/his own knowledge.
