I see no good reason to turn simple boolean tag (toll=yes/ toll=no are 98,98% of all values[1]) into something highly complicated. It would work better as a new tag
Also, what is the point of tagging that road located in Italy is an Italian toll road?

- I don't see it as complicated. It's not like maxspeed where you enter a number, but it's not nearly as complicated as other already accepted forms of tagging. Moreover the documentation is already very detailed, provides a lot of examples and guides you through step by step. So if you have a hard time using the tag, you can use copy & paste.
- Why we need something more detailed than yes/no is also very easy to explain. Just imagine maxspeed as boolean. You can say if there is a maximum speed on that road or not, but how fast are you allowed to drive? Same here. There are so many different types of toll systems that a boolean just doesn't cut it here. The greater idea behind this to provide more detailed data for better routing options (eg. you want to use the motorway which you already paied for, but don't want to use roads with extra toll)
- On new tags. If you use toll=yes and toll:SUBKEY=TAG to describe the road you can go with toll=TAG as well. But if you have an idea that you think is better than this example, don't hesitate to hare it.
- Italian roads: Simply because there is no worldwide toll system. There is not even an EU-wide system. So if you want to use toll roads in Ggermany, but not in Poland you need a way to tag the roads or you can not select them.
