<div>I don't care that amenity is "overloaded". This is an
amenity.</div>

<div>And someone who cares can invent subtypes for "ac" like
"sev_1011",</div>
<div>or worse set something for multi standard sockets: <a

<pre><tt style="background:#DDE;white-space:nowrap" dir="ltr">There is no USB one there (yet) ..usb_typea, usb_typeb etc... ?
it is not a proposal as yet .. but does not identify it self as vehicle related.
Charging points are avlible in some libraries too ..
Might be time to move the </tt>tag power_supply= to a proposal.
