Yeah, this was/is a limitation of Potlatch2 that was never solved. It's a messy reality of OSM tagging. To those that think the answer is "well, don't map like that!" - just...no. That style of mapping is perfectly appropriate in many places and has some real advantages for data consumers (eg, identifying roads that have tramtracks, which are a real hazard for cyclists). > I'd consider both of these bugs, but would like to open a discussion what > others think about "exclusive" tags. IMHO the solution is to essentially duplicate the GUI when more than one "primary" tag is found. But there are some unsolved ambiguities in the tagging, like which tag "name=" refers to.
