+1, definitely. It's very consistent.

Anyway, I moved orphanage proposal to 'rejected' status, We can
continue discussion at 'residential_home' proposal
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Residential_home).
RFC is open since 2009 but there are still things we need to solve:

* name: 'residential_home' or 'assisted_living' (maybe sth. else)?
* sub-tagging: 'residents' or main tag value
(residential_home=*/assisted_living=*)
* sub-tags value 'children'/'seniors'/etc. or 'orphanage'/'nursing
home'/etc. (hospice maybe?)
