If you type 'tennis' what does ID come up with? sport=tennis with
a selection of leisure=pitch, or something=sports_centre .. <br>

As a new mapper, I would not have though to type “diplomatic” when
searching for a tag for an embassy or consulate. It’s nice if
mappers can just type “embassy” or “consulate” into the ID editor
and have it pop up. <br>
<br>
So I like amenity=consulate<br>

because a consulate isn't really a subset of an embassy. It's
a different sort of animal, but related. Same genus, different
species if you will.<br>

<br>
The proposed addition of amenity=consulate then conflicts with
the present definition of amenity=embassy - both would be
available to tag a consulate!!!<br>
<br>
><br>
> Shifting both, embassies and consulates under a
diplomatic main key would require retagging of both, embassies
and consulates, but the embassies are already tagged ok.<br>
<br>
At present all embassies and consulates can be and at least
some are tagged as amenity=embassy!<br>
There is no distinction with the present OSM wiki definition
of amenity=embassy.<br>
<br>
><br>

one tag than two.<br>
<br>
Certainly. Faster again to type nothing. Mappers who want to
add detail will do so.<br>
<br>
> If a map renderer doesn’t want to distinguish between the
two, it can use the bare amenity=diplomatic as long as people
are using it together with diplomatic=passport_check or
something like this (think tourism=information), and will have
to look for diplomatic=embassy as well, so they could in the
first place change their rule to “amenity is embassy or
consulate”, and be future proof :)<br>
<br>
That would require typing of more than one tag.<br>
Do you want fast?<br>
Then you will need one tag that says all you want ... one tag
for a consulate that does vias, another tag for a consulate
that does not do visas .. etc etc..<br>
<br>
Reality: more than one tag would be required to have a system
that is not litered with one tags that do so much detail.<br>
<br>
-------------------<br>
I would opt for;<br>
depreciating amenity=embassy .. as they are used for
embassies, consulates etc .. so you don't know what they are
(unless it has a detailed sub tag)<br>
introducing amenity=diplomatic and use the sub tag
diplomatic=* to detail what it is - embassy/consulate/*<br>
