for the great suggestions. I'm typing on an iPhone so
will respond fully after I reach my final destination.

amenity=charging_station with subtags for
clarification seems to fill the bill.

<div>I think that's a choice with high long term costs to
rendering and processing engines.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What will happen is that you're asking rendering and
processing software to keep up with a blizzard of subtags.</div>
<div>"charging_station" presently is understood to mean a
vehicle charging station,<br>
</div>
<div>not a generic charging station. Suddenly icons
designed for vehicle charging will start appearing inside
airports.</div>

<div>Similarly:</div>

<div>forces rendering to understand a long series of
values. For an AC wall plug that means understanding</div>
<div>that nema_5_15<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>sev_1011
and cei_23_16 are all types of AC wall plugs, but that USB
is something different.</div>
<div>It's asking too much from the maintainers of rendering

bbq has the same problem.. electric, wood, gas ... <br>
as does building .. school, retail, residential, church, post office
... <br>
<br>
The rendering 'problem' ?<br>
<br>
<i>To render or not .. that is the question? (to misquote Bill). </i><br>
<br>
The data can be added .. rendering is another problem.<br>
First the tagging, then the mapping .. then the rendering. They all
have their problems. <br>
