While hazard=yes is certainly in use (like barrier=yes and even
amenity=yes), it shouldn't be included in the proposal.

In every case it will be more helpful if users make up a new tag. If there
is a sign warning of monkeys which are prone to steal tourist's purses,
then hazard=purse_pilfering_primates is better than hazard=yes, since it
immediately make it possible for other mappers and database users to get
some idea about the kind of hazard.

The current mention of hazard=yes in addition to another main tag, like
man_made=adit + hazard=yes, is not terrible, though man_made=adit +
hazard=collapse or hazard=toxic_air would be clearer - it's not always
obvious which kind of hazard to expect.
