I would expect utility marker mapping to be a special interest. Jane Mapper
will not map these, or will be so excited about her discovery on the ground
that she will be willing to look it up on a wiki page ;-)
Preset focused editors like iD could set two tags by selecting one preset,
but it would require more specific identifiers/search terms for the
presets. It could also be done in several phases (guided multi step
process). Current working of presets I have seen, tend to reduce tagging
possibilities and information depth for the sake of simplicity.

Cheers,
Martin
