Yes, definitely I would like to see such detailed tags aswell.
But until you have proposed all of them and I have found and collected them, it is very useful to have one tag that you can filter for, that lists all entries that are relevant for people in one group of disabilities.
This is the only way I can start rendering!

Also it is easier for an unexperienced mapper or a mapper who just did not carry his measurement kit with him to type a "door is not wide enough for wheelchair", than to type a "maxwidth=50", "FIXME=maxwidth is estimated".

And if we go back to the needs of blind people, we have the description in the local language to be spoken by a screenreader rather than having shortened English tags that need a translation table.
And if I have a maxwidth on a street, it is not even relevant for a blind person, and the routing engine can not tell it is or not without the "blind:whatever"-tag.

Please propose your detailed tags for subtitles and doorwidth, I will use them.
Tomorrow we will see how constructive the critizising is, if subtitles in cinemas are so important to you, that you wrote a proposal for it.
At the moment, they are not to me.

If you know tags, that are relevant to any group of disabled persons, please add [[Category:Walking disability]], [[Category:Visual Impairment]] or [[Category:Hearing Impairment]] to the wiki page of the tag.

Thank you for your answers!
