What is primary for a given mapper will be secondary for someone else, despite so called primary tags are more used than any others. A tag may be primary for a specific render but secondary for routing. Then, saying a tag is primary is tagging for render or routing or any particular purpose. Given example is waterways in tunnel If I look for waterways, then waterway=* will be the main tag I'll look for If I look for tunnels, then I'll look for tunnel=* and don't even look at waterway=* Then it should be really simpler to extend values on existing tags when it's relevant (which is the only criteria) Defining primary and secondary tags just put pointless barriers on refinement process and I don't see any benefit. All the best François
