[Tagging] preproposal : internet webcam

[nounours]

Hi Egil,

amenity is definitvely a bad choice. First, we should be careful to tag everything with "amenity". Second, an amenity is something you can use/consume when you're on the road, e.g. a bar to drink something or a wastebasket to get rid of something.

Even if I agree that it's not man_made=surveillance, it's shares some common features with it. (Besides, man_made is maybe not an ideal tag for surveillance as well, if you look at the other values, it's more some clearly visible features that are put into nature.

Maybe directly

camera=surveillance
camera=webcam
camera=traffic_cam

would be clearer???
