Very good summary!
This is what I mean, there are plenty of different places to bathe at. As a 
generalist, I would prefer to have one super-tag and many sub-tags to 
differentiate.

e.g.
Leisure = bath
bath:activity = wash/exercise/leisure
bath:construction = indoor/outdoor/natural
bath:water    = sea/fresh/mineral/treated

There are probably more sub-tags and we can come up with better names and 
groups.

p.s.
(If this doesn´t fit the osm-scheme, then I can make separate proposals for 
all diffferent leisure and amenities, I will need some help with the outdoor 
ones. I do not like natural=beach to be used for all natural bath places) d.s.
