The point is that tags should only accommodate one piece of information.
A gate is a gate, access is something else.
Completely true. If a way has restricted access (and that may be
physically enforced by the used of a closed gate) I tag the access
restriction on the way behind the gate and not the gate. I don't see
any added benefit by adding the access to a way behind a gate to the
gate (!) itself.
We both agree on the "a gate is a gate", but a gate does not necessarily
mean that a way has restricted access.
Firstly, what is "behind" the gate differs depending on your location.
Secondly, the way "behind" the gate may well be reachable by other means
(i.e. a detour) - it is easy to imagine a gate where vehicles cannot
pass, but still vehicles are allowed on both sides of the gate!
Ah, true. Sorry for my rant only half thought through. Indeed access
tagging on a gate makes sense :)
And just to get my vote in as well: I used a plain barrier=gate in the
sense that "there's a gate, but I don't know about any access
restrictions it may imply".
