I was just wonder if we could turn the aeroway=helipad wih
"heliport" in name into aeroway=heliport (not all of them,
because helipad is different beast, as you just wrote), but
after more research I am now more cautious: looks like many
"heliports" are in fact just helipads, even here (using CIA
World Factbook data):

I'm glad you've decided to review this proposal.
<br>
<br>
That wikipedia page is so restrictive in its definition: Just one
heliport in the whole of Australia? I just don't believe it.

Heipads in Australia... <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.helipads.org">http://www.helipads.org</a> .. <br>
A little more than one. Most major hospitals have one. <br>
Dick Smith has one ... though it is private. <br>
<br>
And the wikipedia definition is fairly broad ..<br>
<br>
total number of heliports with <br>
<ul>
<li>hard-surface runways,</li>
<li> helipads, or </li>
<li>landing areas that <i>support routine sustained helicopter
operations exclusively</i> and have support facilities
including one or more of the following facilities: lighting,
fuel, passenger handling, or maintenance</li>
</ul>
<br>
The last one would accept a dirt helipad near the Bungle Bungles - a
dirt strip that refuels and accepts passengers. <br>
