Me?

I'd expand http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:vending%3Ddrinks

amenity=vending_machine
vending=drinks
drink:water=yes
payment:cash=yes




I think that would map what is on the ground. ? Other ideas?

It is not a question or can or cannot, but one of should or should not.
 From the wiki /"when tagging a //natural 
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:natural>=spring 
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dspring>//that has 
potable water for use, tag the spring with //drinking_water 
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:drinking_water>=yes 
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:drinking_water%3Dyes&action=edit&redlink=1>//."/ 
There is no suggestion of tagging this with amenity=drinking_water, nor 
should there be.

I would think something tagged with both amenity=drinking_water and 
man_made=tap has both a bubbler and a tap.

I do try not to damage things .. but improve, remove conflicts.
