<div>around here, the typical drinking fountain is an iron cast
column with permanent flow. There is a water tap inside the
column but the "user" cannot open or close it (unless the
cover is open, happens from time to time, but is not the
regular situation). <br>

<div>So the "user" cannot control the flow, but technically, a
tap is present. Shall we ignore this tap because it is usually
neither visible not accessible?</div>

<p>I would not use the tag man_made=water_tap for these. <br>

<p>Why not use <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:fountain">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:fountain</a> </p>

<p>You will note the different tags - some relate to the 'style' of
the structure others relate to the water delivery eg mist,
bottle_refill .. thus the tag is used for anything. <br>
</p>
<p>The word 'type' in the description is the probable source of this
confusion. <br>
