+1, although it is not completely clear when to use barrier=door and when
barrier=gate (at least not for me). There is also
barrier=full_height_turnstile etc. which might have some overlap here.

I'd also like to point out that there are already ~6000 "door"s in our db
(taginfo):
yes <http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/door=yes>
5 562
81.54%
-

hinged <http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/door=hinged>
582
8.53%
-

manual <http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/door=manual>
378
5.54%
-

automatic <http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/door=automatic>
87
1.28%
-

hangable <http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/door=hangable>

1.22%
-

opening <http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/door=opening>

0.72%

if you forget about the "yes" there are quite a lot of "manual" and
"automatic".
My suggestion therefor is to be more explicit with the key identifiers, e.g.
* door_type (or door:type) for hinged / sliding / revolving / ...  (still
this is somehow ambiguous, because "type" might also be interpreted as
"glass door", "wooden door", ...)
I believe there could be also "lift_gate" (de: Hubtür) and "rolling_gate"
(de: Rolltor) as suggested values.
* door_closer = * (for mechanisms that close the door automatically, values
might be e.g. "electric", "mechanic", "no", "yes" etc.)

With respect to door_closer I'd also suggest to be more explicit with
"automatic_door" (what is automatic: opening, closing, both? And how is the
automation implemented). Not sure if an alternative key "door_opener" would
be suitable for this (but it surely would be a good complement to
door_closer).

Cheers,
Martin
