Maybe I didn't make myself clear in that sentence. I referenced a statement from a different tagging thread a few weeks ago. The gist is that if a mapper encounters a given tag (like bicycle=dismount), a given definite meaning should be understood. This may be _refined_ by further tags on the same POI, especially subtags, like highway=service + service=driveway. Meaning shall not be redefined, rather made more specific in these cases. However, I can't say that highway=service + not_really_service=yes, i.e., a certain combination of independent tags may not carry a meaning that greatly contradicts with any subset of the said tags. For example, bicycle=dismount should be understood that bicycle access is only allowed if a rider dismounts. However, if we had to write bicycle=dismount + foot=no, then the meaning basically becomes: neither riding your bicycle nor walking is allowed here, which is quite the opposite compared to what bicycle=dismount would mean if it were placed alone on the POI. Hence the correct way to tag this should be bicycle=no + foot=no. I really enjoyed Phil's joke and I recommend that you think about it as well.
