Certainly.
I haven't tagged highway=give_way but I have definitely put in new shop
categories without bothering with either the wiki or the list.
Freeform tagging has some benefits, anarchic tagging has less
but some of the problem lies in the reluctance of people to accept new
keys.
This "bus depot" is not a highway, nor is it an amenity.
It might belong under industrial - but we haven't got that sorted out
yet, and until we get more keys sorted out we will argue forever about
whether something is highway or amenity.
I would have put 'craft' under industrial, and then used 'trade' but
craft is too far processed to consider a complete alternative.
