Kevin,

There are many tags which are not rendered by one or either of the two
main rendering views on the OSM website. Toilets and Tourist
Information centres are both logical additions and perhaps this thread
will see them make it to the rendering a little quicker. Not ever tag
can be rendered on a single view of the map though, it would get too
cluttered but I think things like this should arguably make it to the
highest zoom level.

Cheers

Andy
