I second this. Emergency namespace must have definitely essential
things, but not all things. emergency=ambulance_station is definitely
right, but not emergency=hospital. It rises interesting question
though - I would suggest to tag emergency=ambulance_station (as node)
separately from hospital, as sometimes hospitals are very huge and it
is very important sometimes to *know* where actual ambulance is.

Please, let's not flame about someone changing tags already - it is
not right thing to do, bet not worth the fight. We are here for mostly
for same thing, right?

Cheers,
Peter.
