does not match because the way has no tag x=y.

Sets x=y. Setting a tag in finalizer makes sense only for mkgmap:* tags 
which are evaluated by mkgmap internally.

Yes, that's also a good example how the finalizer can be used. The 
disadvantag is that you cannot use country specific rules in the lines 
or points file.

I agree, but I'll have to take a look if that's possible.
