[Tagging] Ranger Station Tag Update (too anglo-centric)?

The tag "amenity=ranger_station" passed the wiki hurdle.

It is now a preset in the "iD" editor, and there's an icon proposed for
Maki.
The all-important pull request however is this one, to make it render:

However one problem has come up.  The JOSM maintainer Don makes a good
point here:

What is the equivalent office called in other countries?

Could this have been less anglo-centric with
   amenity=official_park_police_museum_information_permit_center
or
   amenity=official_park_visitor_services
   building=yes
rather than
   amenity=ranger_station
   building=yes
