Hi Martin.
Nobody said you did. What has been said is that if you want to have some
kind of "exclusice access" tag that in fact is a change to how the
access tagging currently works.
Access tagging currently is:
-use access=yes|no to set a "default"
-add more details by adding access tags for any other modes of
transportation etc.
So it's quite easy to tag an exclusive access for e.g. psv: access=no,
psv=yes, and the default for access is common to be yes usually.
What you propose is in fact a change of this in the data consumers view.
You propose to have instead the possibility to tag exclusive_access=psv
or something like that.
With that data consumers have to know your exclusive tag on top of the
others, as now exclusive_access=psv would be a more or less short for
access=no, psv=yes.
Data consumers who don't know or implement this will fail here, because
they will use access=yes as their default fallback as usual, and don't
know about exclusive_access=*, so they interpret it as generally
accessibly by all.
To fix that, in fact data consumers would have to change their default
to access=no, and that's where you don't change an existing tag, but
change how a set of tags together has to be interpreted to be usual -
while on the other hand it's only one tag more to do it in a more data
user friendly way.

Peter

People - really! Where did I propose to change any tags at all? I
asked a question!
