I can follow your argument ("who's gonna do all that dumb work of tracing power 
lines in large rural areas like in the US"), but it is preferable to have a 
distinct object for what is really something different in the real world. 
Otherwise you either get long, ugly and error prone tags and tag lists on the 
object or you risk of not knowing any more to which implicit object a tag 
refers to (e.g. name, ref, operator, Wikipedia etc). That's why I suggest to 
preferably create dedicated geometry and preliminary (the quick way) reuse the 
road geometry with relations (e.g. route=power_transmission) to get a proper 
object instead of adding the power tags on the road object.

cheers,
Martin
