I am under the impression that the designation key is misused a lot
in Belgium. It's used for descriptions, notes, names, etc. (see

It's hardly used for its intended purpose:
The tag designation=* is used to record the legal classification of a
way.
(see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:designation UK-only ?.)
Or is there another definition/use of designation that I'm not aware
of ?
You're right about the use, I even see I misused it myself in my first
edits even thought I understand the use as described now. So, I'm
correcting now. tx for the overpass query, makes it easy to fix this.
I fixed some (see changeset
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/16639881 ). There is some
info that you just can't throw away to fix the tag use, I tried
selecting appropriate keys(most work was re-keying the info) to keys
like operator, name, note or ref. For example : the airport buildings
used designation to put some interesting information on the buildings
and it differs from the already chosen name , see
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/136459078 . I parked that info
in 'ref' keys.
Some information you just need to get rid of as it duplicates other
keys. There are a few in that bbox that I left alone, there is node
1858449632. Someone with more experience on 'archeological' tagging
than me should do this.
