>From what I've seen, not in pictures, but in the real world, AED branding
predominates.  The word "defibrillator", when present,
is far smaller.  I don't doubt there are people who know them as AED's
without having the ability to pronounce or spell "defibrillator".

There's a worldwide effort to adopt a single icon, and term, for these
things.

Convention would be
  aed=yes
Much like
  amenity=toilets
  drinking_water=yes

But here I'd rather doubt there are enough of them to gain rendering
traction.  I'd make it two separate nodes.

Another question is how to mark (and render) AED's that are locked.  Unless
you have the code,
or a crowbar, those might as well be disused: or not present.
