This was suggested, but dropped for better readability: see "Default
values; minimise ambiguity" on the Discussion page.

You missed here the point, that this tag is part of a new relation,
which handles lane connectivity.

That is a very bad idea. Splitting the way would mean, that there is
no possiblity to switch between the lanes (as they are separated),
which in reality often is not correct. This would also break routing.

 There is also a relation type "through_route" which provides a

Could you please provide a link to this relation? I couldn't find
anything in the wiki for it.

Thanks for your comments.
