[Tagging] Proposal: Energy generator power types

[Tom Chance]

Hello,

I am tagging low carbon / renewable energy generators in London, and have
made a proposal to improve the granularity of the schema:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/power_type

Basically I have deprecated "power_type=photovoltaic" and
"power_type=solar-thermal", which combine two bits of information (source of
energy, and type of energy generated). This also allows for adequate tagging
of generators that produce more than one type of energy from a single
source, such as a gas-fired combine heat and power plant.

I have downloaded a complete dump via XAPI of all photovoltaic and
solar-thermal panels; there aren't too many to correct if this proposal is
accepted.

Please comment on the proposal.

Regards,
Tom Chance
