I think the term "drinkable" might be more attractive because it is so
closely related to the term "drinking_water" — it's a logical extension of
the top level amenity tag:
amenity=drinking_water (drinkability=yes assumed)
to different water sources such as fountains, springs and water wells.
Potable is an English word derived from Latin and its meaning is perhaps
not obvious to non-native English speakers whereas drinkable doesn't suffer
as much from that limitation.
Regards,
Dave
