I'm a bit lost in this thread and hope that I'm not repeating what was already said, but there is extensive documentation on this topic in the wiki:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dembassy
and linked pages. It might be disputable whether tagging consulate generals as embassies in the first level tag though.

The above mentioned, more verbose  suggestions (sending_country and destination_country rather than the documented "country") make perfect sense also to me
