OK, so perhaps we need to tag only those private toilets that are
completely visible from publicly accessible places ?
I see a problem here, some parts of the world refer to 'toilet' as
meaning only that part you sit on....

Its reasonably easy to add an OSM "underlay" behind your own set of (eg)
POI. I'd suggest people who want to show such specialised data sets
should take that approach.
