That's an interesting idea. No objection from me.
I see a little problem in the "legal relevance".
IMHO "drinkable=yes" has no legal relevance. It means the water is
drinkable, even without official control.
Water that is checked by public authorities can get the tagging
"drinkable=official".
The tag "drinking_water=yes" implicates somehow a legal relevance. I
would like to tag a spring in the mountains with "drinkable=yes",
although you will never get a official clearance for this source of
water.
