I think we already have both possibilities. We can use any preprocessing 
we like and then use a selfmade style which uses fantasy tags. Or make a 
preprocessor which outputs the well-known tags. This works best if 
everything is kept in the style system and next to nothing is hardcoded 
in the mkgmap code, because changing a style file is not a big deal, but 
fiddling with the java code isn't for everyone. For the newcomer user 
mkgmap always should produce a sensible map out-of-the-box.
