Perhaps the user experience difference is better captured in a out-of-osm
voting system about how "stinky" a toilet is.

We seem to agree that "water flush toilet" is a clear category.  But "pits"
get murkier: chemical vs. no, vault vs. unlined pit,
composting vs. pile of waste, portable bucket vs. permanent.

A pit has a pile of human waste at the bottom.
A chemical toilet drops the same waste into a liquid chemical.
A composting toilet the majority of the waste is undergoing composition.
 These all smell *completely* different.
