no objections except 'standpipe' - see below.

I would keep hydrant:type - because it is a physical type/design in my 
opinion.
With hydrant:delivery I would not assume the physical type, sorry.

And I would keep type=pillar.
With fire_plug I - and I suppose many others - would assume "something 
you can connect with or to".
And that are all hydrants in any design, it is too generic in my opinion.

Regarding standpipe:
I would understand 'standpipe' as the device you need to connect to 
underground hydrants.
So I would not use standpipe for hydrant:source but 'riser' instead, may 
be distuingish between dry_riser or wet_riser.
