Create multiple tags and do not attempt to create shortcut again.




In general crossing tag is attempting to tag several different things 


at once - for example how I am supposed to tag crossing with island,

traffic lights and zebra markings in Poland?

Yes. For example in Poland there are crossing markings that look

very similar and have the same name with different legal 


implications.




People in that situation will use crossing=zebra, no matter what was

original intention of fist uers and what is documented on wiki

as the intended meaning,

Note that it is unfixable with mass edit. Resurvey of everything is basically 
needed.


And it is one more reason for people caring about this information to fix it as

soon as possible.
