<p>Since a lot of people apparently didnt see the RFC the first
time, I'll go back to RFC status for now. (I thought the threads
were sorted by subject title of the email and didnt check online
if it was actually visible. )</p>

<p>The original message: <br>
</p>
<p>Hello all,
<br>
<br>
after the comments on the confusing nature of the word 'source' in
my original proposal of 'electricity:source', I have now changed
the name to 'electricity:origin' as suggested on the discussion
page. Furthermore, I would like to revive and extend the proposal
of the key 'electricity' as this previously conflicted with parts
of the electricity:source proposal and was not consistent.
<br>
<br>
Both proposal pages:
<br>
<br>
[1] <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<br>
<br>
[2] <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Proposed_features/electricity:source">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Proposed_features/electricity:source</a>
<br>
<br>
The idea now is to allow for the tagging of buildings or amenities
that have electricity. The rationale is described in more detail
at [1]. Tags such as access, fee, schedule and origin can then
narrow down the availability to the public and the question of
financial or direct origin of the electricity.
<br>
<br>
This is distinct from the drafted tag power_supply as it is used
to describe the type of sockets used at a specific outlet. The
values for that tag are still currently under discussion.
<br>
<br>
I would also not tag this as a subset of power=* as this maps the
facilities and features that relate to the generation and
distribution of electrical power and should not be used to map the
consumers of electricity.<br>
</p>
<p>
<br>
I am eager to hear the feedback to the revised proposals!
<br>

<p>Also, perhaps relevant: both the <a
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:power_supply">power_supply</a>
and <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:socket">socket</a>
keys describe the same feature. power_supply so far has
occasionally been used in the manner that electricity proposes to
be. Unfortunately, the proposal for power_supply is relatively
inconsistent. I think the socket:* tag is better thought out and
also currently more used. I would be in favor of deprecating
power_supply and separating the two meanings it currently has into
electricity=* and socket:*=#.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
