Indeed, we tag private things *all the time*: private buildings, railway
structures, transmission towers, etc.
If it's visible it should be mappable, right?
However "amenity=toilet" often goes beyond what's visible. The building
might be visible, but the ammenty is restricted.
Thus a toilet in a private office building? I would not mark it as
an amenity.
A toilet in an outbuilding of a private home? I might tag the visible
outline of the structure, but would not tag amenity=toilet.
- What does it look like? ( a building )
- What's inside the building? ( a shop )
- What's inside the shop? ( a toilet )
- Who has access to it? ( people who ask for a key )
- What services does it provide? ( flushing, toilet paper, urinal )
- What does it look like? ( a hole the the ground )
- Who has access to it? ( anyone who happens past )
- What services does it provide? ( a pit )
- What does it look like? ( a building )
- Who has access to it? ( private )
- What services does it provide? ( not relevant )
