Is the problem here basically one of rendering? A man_made mast can have many functions, whether guyed or not, and those functions can be further specified in subservient tags. If the next tag is mast=lighting or mast:type=lighting this can be shown with a proper icon. Similarly for mast=communication or mast=loud_speaker.
A similar scheme is already in use with man_made=tower. There are several tower:type tags in use to clarify their function and their display on a map.
