Thomas, I think this suggestion is essentially to provide a 'default' set of tags for ways depending on where the way is. If the tag is not explicitly included in the way, the API will return the default?
I can not help with the technical aspects of this, but it sounds like a fair suggestion for a project working on extending the API - can someone that knows about the API code comment? Otherwise I see no problem with including something like this on the potential projects list.
