These should probably be fleshed out by giving them individual geometries, since they are not by nature "in one node", only because their geometry has not been mapped more precisely. Your other examples are discussed to death every other month so I'm quite surprised you did not find anything on them. People often suggest things like "maxspeed:hgv" to make a limit apply only to one class of vehicles. Since you might be capable of understanding German, the talk-de list has discussions about these in regular intervals. You might want to check out http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-de/2008-August/020217.html and related discussions in the same month, or http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-de/2009-February/037417.html Also, about the "pavement on both sides with different surfaces" issue, check out http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Germany/Workshops/Linienb%C3%BCndel which doesn't come to a conclusion but maybe at least tells the story of how many people have thought about this and how unsatisfactory the results still are ;-) > 1.

Everybody uses editors to make changes but still, we like our tags to be "human readable". Your concept really stretches the envelope of "human readability". Of course it is trivial for a computer program to evaluate something like this: > * maxspeed[0]=120 > * hour_on[0]=6 > * hour_off[0]=20 > * maxspeed[1]=100 > * hour_on[1]=22 > * hour_off[1]=6 > * maxspeed[2]=60 > * hour_on[2]=22 > * hour_off[2]=6 > * for[2]=hgv and display it in some suitable fashion, but before too long you would really *need* the program to make sense of these things at all. It is possible that we'll one day have to drop the idea of human-readable tagging but I think we're not quite there yet.
