<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent">
Some time ago, I raised a proposal for Marine Rescue stations:
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Marine_rescue" style="color:rgb(0,0,128);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Marine_rescue</a>.
After a few weeks, I returned it to draft status, pending the
resolution of the Military Bases proposal which was also going
through at that time, but despite that, it’s now in use ~250 times!
</p>
<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent"><br>

</p>
<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent">One of the concerns
that were raised at the time was the existence of two other, similar
tags: emergency=lifeboat_station <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Aemergency%3Dlifeboat_station&" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Aemergency%3Dlifeboat_station
&</a> also amenity=lifeboat_station
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dlifeboat_station" style="color:rgb(0,0,128);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dlifeboat_station</a>,
both of which were created by the same mapper on the same day, &
neither of which were apparently ever discussed?</p>
<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent"><br>

</p>
<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent">These two tags have
been used a similar number of times (400 – 450), but when I’ve
looked at a number of them at random, both tags have been used
together on a lot of locations e.g
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/260096274" style="color:rgb(0,0,128);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/260096274</a>,
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/894864797" style="color:rgb(0,0,128);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/894864797</a>,
& <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/444884651" style="color:rgb(0,0,128);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/444884651</a>.</p>
<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent"><br>

</p>
<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent">It would seem
somewhat ridiculous to have three virtually identical tags describing
the same thing, as well as two tags on the same POI, so I am suggesting that they all be consolidated into
one tag, with the other two being deprecated.</p>
<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent"><br>

</p>
<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent">Before proceeding
with that discussion though, is there any reason to tag something as
both an amenity= & also emergency=? <br></p><p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent"><br></p>
