agree that who wants could map furniture as well, but that would not be "amenity" and I would not care about such a tag and it would not be the main tag for the reception function

it can be easily decided by the mapper what makes most sense for the actual situation 



> c) And there was a dog_bin in use in OSM too.. one could assume that it is for dead dogs? The present reception_area use is all on nodes, no areas at all. There are less than 110 uses of it. There is no documentation for it. One of the tag is for a building .. on a node.


there are more than 30 times reception_area tags compared to reception_desk, but both numbers are low



> d) I personally know of two places where the reception is a long way from the main entrance (Australia). Someone else also know of a reception a long way from the main entrance (Africa I think). So not always at the main entry, and in that situation mapping it is very usefull.


+1, if someone thinks a tag is not needed he should not vote, because voting is about a concrete tag and which tag is best to describe something
