The general tag for a source of drinkable water is
amenity=drinking_water. But in some cases you will want to subtag an
existing OSM-object (like an amenity=fountain) with the info that the
water is drinkable.
Apparently our free tagging schema has led to 2 alternative keys for this:
drinkable=yes/no can be found here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dfountain
drinking_water=yes/no is defined here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:drinking_water
The first is around 5 times more in use than the second. How shall we
proceed in order to unify the two?
cheers,
Martin
