Ouch, thanks.  I mean thanks, ouch.
By the organization name 
<http://translate.google.be/translate?u=http%3A//www.covoitstop.be/&hl=fr&langpair=auto%7Cen&tbb=1&ie=UTF-8>, 
/*covoit*/ = covoiturage
According to Nominatim 
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Special_Phrases/FR>  
covoiturage -> amenity=car_sharing.
According to you and other translations covoiturage -> carpool 
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Carpool>.
And, you're right, that sort of organized hitch hiking is more like the 
US left lane carpooling.
I have added this comment 
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Carpool#What_is_carpooling.3F> 
to Proposed_features/Carpool 
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Carpool>.

I have to abandon my tagging project by lack of a suitable tag.
Never mind, they refused to send me a stop points coordinate list anyway.
They say that they have their own map project (which obviously is not 
*our* map).

Cheers,

André.
