Then the API needs to be improved - we shouldn't be adding unnecessary
data to work around deficiencies in the API.

I am concerned that it adds complexity (which means there is more chance
of human error). Complexity in some cases is unavoidable, but in this
case I can't see a significant advantage over just tagging the ways and
improving the API to allow searching for single values in multi-value
tags.
