I don't like this! It is often impossible to differeciate between
incline railways and ordinary railways, esecially in countries like
Switzerland.
There are quite a lot of ordinary Railways (e.g. Täsch - Zermatt)
which are using rack-and-pinion at some places while using an
ordinary railroad drive most of the time.
This said, I would not differeciate between railway=rail/narrow_gauge
and incline in particular. Instead using something like rack=yes in
addition!
However, as far as funiculars are concerned these are totaly different beasts
without any connection to ordinary railways.
Thus I would suggest the new tag railway=funicular and an additional tag like
rack=yes
