Until very recently, the wiki said that seats=* means seats, not capacity:
<br>
<br> <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:amenity%3Dbench&diff=2357111&oldid=2347958">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:amenity%3Dbench&diff=2357111&oldid=2347958</a>
<br>
<br> In my opinion, this should be reverted.
<br>
<br> Besides, i'm not very enthusiastic about using capacity=* because this
<br> is quite subjective - people have different figures (and feelings at
<br> which minimum distance to the neighbour they are still comfortable).
<br> It seems much better to tag the length of benches.
<br>

Capacity is ok with me, I will start using that, but still I don't think I will tag that very often, unless it's a huge bench for 20 (I have seen one!) or a very small one for 1 person. I don't mind if others tag seats or estimate the capacity different, as long as they don't remove my capacity tag.
