No, it's more like a note.
If there's no repair specific tag I'd just drop the same data into an
unstructured note:
*"drain clogged with sand"*. The main mapnik type map should just show the
feature as normal.
Only a specialist map would show the repair status.
But I prefer structured data to unstructured, and prefer to collect data
supporting any future rendering choices, rather
than make those rendering choices up front. Thus the enquiry about best to
collect repair status for an object.

PS: It is ugly, but you can see exactly this at http://wetap.org/
where red means poor repair and pink means, um, I think they messed up
pink. Maybe pink means it has a picture.
