Thanks, I do take your point.
If you are part of the development team, thanks for great software.

One should definitely/not/ do that. If there is a tag like relation it
is defined to be relation and it has to have the meaning of a relation
and nothing else. If such tags are allowed, and in principle even
encouraged, to be misused to work around another shortcoming you loose
interoperability.
I've just converted some 10^5 datasets that used your approach
(sometimes quite heavily) and to spare you the details: this is hell and
you never get it entirely clean again.
The nice thing about "standard" is that it is defined to be a singular
not a plural;)
