Yes. This was my point exactly.

Yes, I oppose, as I've said in my earlier message.
The way I see it, a road is represented as a series of OSM ways. A tunnel is
typically represented by adding the tag tunnel=yes to one of them. For that
particular way (!), the fact that there is a tunnel is usually more important
than the fact there is a road. Common usage reflects this as well (e. g. in
radio traffic reports). Therefore, the tunnel's name is the primary name for
that particular way, and thus belongs into the name=* tag.
The full name tagging for a road tunnel should usually look like this:
name=The Tunnel
highway:name=The Road
Possible alternative (some duplication, but perhaps more clear?):
name=The Tunnel
tunnel:name=The Tunnel
highway:name=The Road
IIUC, the proposed change would basically result in:
name=The Road
highway:name=The Road
tunnel:name=The Tunnel
Coming from current practice, I'd say this tagging is correct if and only if
locals actually commonly refer to the section of road inside the tunnel by the
road name instead of the tunnel name most of the time.
I'm sure that's true for some tunnels, but I am not currently aware of even a
single one of those. It's clearly not the typical case. Therefore, the proposed
change doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
As a counter-proposal for the tunnel=* page, we could perhaps replace the name
sentence with something like this:
[[
The common name of a tunnel should usually be tagged as name=*. If whatever
goes through the tunnel has a separate name, that name may be added using e. g.
highway:name=*. If necessary (e. g. to avoid doubt), the tag tunnel:name=* may
be added containing the name of the tunnel, specifically.
]]
