tower:type is intended as the main reason for a tower, I believe. If
someone puts a communication device on top of a power tower, it can still
be seen as power tower without the type of tower changing (there is no
intrinsic meaning of "type" anyway, it only gets defined by the values that
are associated). Communication capabilities of the installation could get a
new tag (for the tower as a node) or antennas and things could be added.
There is a proposed relation for attaching things to nodes, and some
mappers are using "attached_to" as a tag.
