I'm looking for a good tagging for an outdoor DSLAM:

   http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Subscriber_Line_Access_Multiplexer
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_subscriber_line_access_multiplexer

(in Austria they are called ARU = "Access Remote Unit" and bear a label
"ARU###", so they are rather easy to identify; and they spring up like mushrooms
these days)

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dstreet_cabinet#Street_cabinet_categories
suggests:

   man_made=street_cabinet
   street_cabinet=telecom

but this "telecom" is too little as it doesn't distinguish the DSLAM
functionality (with an active DSLAM component) from a regular old
"Kabelverteiler" (cable distribution box, which is just passive).

Taginfo finds:

   communication=outdoor_dslam    291
   man_made=Outdoor DSLAM    18
   and some notes and comments

So it seems suitable to tag:

   man_made=street_cabinet
   street_cabinet=telecom
   communication=outdoor_dslam

Comments?
