"Wrong" and "legal" are such hard words ;-) First and foremost: You can tag what you like. If there's "no such thing" in the Map Features and a search in the wiki proposals also provides no good matching alternative, it's a lot better to tag something "in your own tag words" than not map it at all. But please don't expect that it will be rendered anytime soon :-) Obviously, it's a good idea that there's a certain agreement among mappers to tag common things in the same way, so software like renderers, routers have a chance to do their job. That's the reason why looking in the wiki first is a good idea. Anyway, please read the start of the map features page, which sums up this topic probably better than I can do.
