[Tagging] What's a power=station?

If you read my proposal again, you may notice that I didn't propose 
changing the existing descriptions. My preference for a power station is 
power=station. However, since that would require changing an existing 
definition, I proposed power=plant. If someone has another descriptor that 
is better than "plant" without stepping on existing toes, then I'm all for 
it.

As far as the use of power=generator for a complete power plant, I'd 
prefer to limit that tag to, at most, the building that holds the 
generating equipment, not for the whole facility. I don't think that's 
bending the definition much, just restricting it a little more than the 
current use.
