<br>
<br>
Some think that the use of these 2 tags together is a good thing.<br>
<br>
man_made=water _tap with amenity=drinking_water<br>
<br>
<br>
There reasons? I think are;<br>
<br>
1) indicates potable.<br>
<br>
2) amenity=drinking_water includes tap .. so why not use both tags?<br>
<br>
<br>
---------------------<br>
<br>
My answers;<br>
<br>
<br>
1) man_made=water _tap uses the sub tag drinking_water=yes/no to indicate potability.<br>
<br>
This is also used on other water sources like man_made=water_well.<br>
<br>
If amenity=drinking_water is to be used to replace drinking_water=yes, then<br>
<br>
what is to replace drinking_water=no?<br>
<br>
And then it will have to be used with man_made=water_well.. and probably other things.<br>
<br>
<br>
2) How do you tag;<br>
<br>
a single tap? (me: man_made=water _tap, drinking_water=yes/no)<br>
<br>
a single bubbler? (me: amenity=drinking_water)<br>
<br>
a single bubbler and a single tap ? (me: amenity=drinking_water, man_made=water _tap, drinking_water=yes/no)<br>
<br>
This clearly distinguishes one from the other and allows both to be included on the one node - and those exist.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
