I'm not much of a fan of the term "pipestem", but as you say, the actual
key name is irrelevant - as long as the use is agreed. Certainly, I just
mentally translate it as "shared_driveway".
It seems to fill a useful niche, given the number of times recently I've
seen a driveway leading to multiple properties.

driveway=pipestream sounds good. It's got more usage than
service=pipestream. It's nice to have a way to distinguish these from
non-shared driveways.
I've never heard the term before either, must be american, but that's fine,
many of the existing key values are UK terms and don't apply globally, so
these can be localised to simply "shared driveway" like we already do for
other tags at

In doing the rounds of the Willoughby LGA, I've noticed there are quite
a lot of shared driveways. This has likely come about from where one
previously large block has been subdivided - sometimes multiple times.
Each block typically has access to the main road via a narrow strip of
land, on which the shared driveway sits.
The service=driveway tag is "a minor service road leading to a specific
property", so isn't really appropriate for driveways leading to multiple
properties.
So I've started tagging some of these as driveway=pipestem, as per the
wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:service%3Ddriveway#Pipestems
What do people think?
The wiki also suggests service=pipestem as an alternative, but I prefer
service=driveway + driveway=pipestem as it's more compatible with
existing tagging - for most intents, if a shared driveway is
rendered/routed as a driveway, that should be acceptable.
An example:

Enable the DCS NSW Base Map in ID editor if you want to see the strips
of land via which each property has access to Fullers Rd.
