+1

The idea of my proposal was only for "entrance into builing"-door.

It would be okay for me to use door:type .

But a a proposal for ${key}:*= values and ${key}= itself not yet
approved was kinda strange to me, so I choose door=* for the type.

Yes, a rolling door would be more likely a gate for vehicles than a door
for humans.

For me, using this tag was easier than to propose a new one and
deprecate the established one.
