    The problem I have with office=* is that it is not meant to outline
    the premisses (parking, entry road - right out to the external
    fence). Some have been mapped to there extents, others are single
    nodes.  <br>
    <br>
    The advantage is that it is a simple 1:1 change that removes eh
    problem value of 'embassy' and replaces it with 'diplomatic'.<br>
    <br>
    A problem will be the lack of rendering for some time. <br>

                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>Eleven days into the RFC, we have three competing
                  lines of thought regarding even a primary tag for
                  diplomatic missions, and similarly little consensus on
                  additional (secondary  and tertiary) tags that would
                  preserve and expand information.  The three lines of
                  thought are:</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>* retain amenity=* as the primary tag but tag
                  consulates separately from embassies (this is the
                  original proposal, which after being criticized
                  resurfaced a few days ago).</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>* shift to office=diplomatic and use the existing
                  diplomatic=* additional (secondary) tag to specify
                  whether embassy, consulate, or other, then use
                  embassy, consulate and other as additional (tertiary)
                  tags to specify further the type of diplomatic or
                  non-diplomatic mission as needed.</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>* "promote" diplomatic=* to primary tag status,
                  with embassy, consulate, and other (or some other
                  euphemism as yet undetermined) as the key values as
                  well as additional (secondary) tags that are used to
                  specify further the type of diplomatic or
                  non-diplomatic mission as needed.</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>Nearly all the discussion is posted to the talk
                  page of Proposed Features/Consulate in the wiki ,<a
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Consulate"
                    target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Consulate</a>
                  for those interested in reviewing it.</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>Now, as we approach the two-week mark, it would be
                  helpful to get a sense of whether there is any
                  consensus out there about which of the three main
                  lines of thought is preferred over the others.  The
                  preferences of the community responding to this RFC
                  are not clear to me.  Please let me know which
                  direction you believe would be best, bearing in mind
                  both the realities of the OSM universe (relative
                  sophistication of mappers, the desire not to burden
                  unduly renderers of maps, and the degree to which
                  anybody reads the wiki articles) and our shared desire
                  to make OSM as accurate and information-rich as
                  possible.  Which of the above approaches do you think
                  is "best" by those criteria?</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>Very best regards to one and all who have
                  contributed to this discussion, and many thanks for
                  your ideas and expressions of concern.  </div>
