Generic key names can be confusing, especially when one OSM object is used for
multiple things. Say there is a way tagged as railway and at the same time this
way is part of an area tagged as a generating station. Does "power_source" mean
the type of generating station or the type of power used by the railway
(overhead vs. third rail vs. unelectrified)? I hope this example is
hypothetical, but people do strange things in OSM...

A better example is a highway=service service=alley with a railway=rail service=spur down the middle.
