The problem with type=* is that you have no clue on what it relates... When an object combines for example amenity=* and building=*, type is related to which one ?
Most OSM tags are hierarchical: aeroway = aerodrome aerodrome = * When investigating taginfo, also check WHERE unusual values are used. I'm using overpass API to load these object in JOSM... check who created them. Most of the time, it is only a couple of contributors, and many times this is related to some import. -- Christian Quest - OpenStreetMap France
