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.
