Not by the usual interpretation of the phrase "tagging for the renderer", as has been discussed several times recently. Using a tag that will never be recognised by any software is (I think) at least as bad as abusing a tag so it will be treated in some way by some currently existing software. There's a balance between the two, and tagging in total ignorance of software support is not a good strategy. Anyway, as this is a recurring debate with no consensus, I think I'll leave it there. The only real issue here is that "voted on" tags are taking a long time to get implemented in Osmarender, and we should help the developers to reduce this. Steve
