<div>doesn't explain why "amenity=lifeboat" is
"deprecated". Like it or not, this is used exactly how
you'd expect:<br>

<div>Yes, that (totally undocumented & undiscussed) tag
could be either written up to specify it's the location
where a lifeboat is moored, or it could be changed to
amenity=lifeboat_mooring, but, is it verifiable? Can anybody
walk up to that spot 24/7/365 & say Ah yes, that's the <i>George</i><i>
& Mary Webb</i>? Sorry, but no they can't, as it may
be elsewhere at that moment.</div>

<p>Most of the time, yes they can* - 8000 launches per year between
400 lifeboats is on average 20 per year. If we take a guess at 8
hours per launch, it's there 98% of the time.</p>
