7. Personally, I believe drinking_water=* is a much better solution<br>
than amenity=drinking_water:<br>
7.1) The source of drinking water (which, I fully agree, is important<br>
for a lot of users) may not be a dedicated amenity, and still be very<br>
useful: e.g. a public toilet in a well-developed country can provide<br>
access to drinking water, but it's not an amenity=drinking_water, it<br>
is amenity=toilet. Marking one thing with two amenity nodes is<br>
possible but (1) it's a workaround rather than a nice solution; (2) I<br>
think many people, especially tourists from less developed countries,<br>
may not even understand such tagging and will be looking for a<br>
dedicated amenity.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>A key problem with your proposal is divergent tagging with no migration plan.<br></div><div><br>-------------<br><br></div><div>Double amenity was <u>not</u> in common use prior to your proposal:<br><br></div><div style="margin-left:40px"><strike><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">amenity=toilets;drinking_water</span></strike></div><div><br>Instead the tagging has been:<br></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace"><br></span></div><div style="margin-left:40px"><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">amenity=toilets<br></span></div><div><div style="margin-left:40px"><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">drinking_water=no</span><br></div><div style="margin-left:40px"><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace"></span></div><br></div><div>Similarly for shops:<br><br></div><div style="margin-left:40px"><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">amenity=shop<br></span></div><div style="margin-left:40px"><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">toilets=yes<br></span></div><div style="margin-left:40px"><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">toilets:wheelchair=yes</span><br><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">toilets:disposal=flush<br><br></span></div>Or other places:<br><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace"><br></span><div style="margin-left:40px"><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">tourism=camp_site<br></span></div><div style="margin-left:40px"><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">drinking_water=no<br>toilets=yes</span></div><div style="margin-left:40px"><br></div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">At the first level of tagging these can be seen as attributes of the amenity, much like opening hours, website, etc..<br> If detailed tagging is done (e.g. individual camp pads), then the
