Or much more simple:Don't allow to combine elements with differenttags without confirmation. If the user tries that, a dialog shouldshow the differences and ask the user what touse, similar to JOSM. Merging objects with different tags is an actionthat requires expert knowledge, so maybenot something iD should allow unless it allowsto resolve the conflicts as well.

Yes, I understand how this happens, but I don't understand why iD doesn't prevent this action or at least warns the user. I am not aware of many tags which regularly contain lists, so I'd say it would be better to always warn or implement a white list for those tags in iD. I am sure that it already would be a great improvement if the 100 most often used tags are checked.
