With specialist data without a physical presence, like PlusBus zones, my view is that careful thought should be given to whether to import them into the main OSM database at all, and if they are imported they should use namespaced tags. The NAPTAN import of bus stops in Birmingham did not (quite rightly) use name or ref, presumably to avoid this problem. The PlusBus zones are already a minor irritation because they get in the way of editing (often being next to but not coincident with roads), so they should try to be as good neighbours as possible. A new import should design its tagging considerately, and not expect renderers to be changed to accommodate it.
The PlusBus zones would be more useful if you could get them rendered (as an area) on http://www.öpnvkarte.de/ . Incidentally, and apologies if it has already been discussed, but is it necessary for every bus stop in Birmingham to be tagged naptan:PlusbusZoneRef = BHAMNWS ? Is a PlusBus zone not enough?
