I think that it is perfectly OK to map (for example) private buildings not
visible from any public place (I posted it also on wiki).

> tourism=hotel

> toilets=yes
> toilets:access=permissive
> toilets:wheelchair=limited

> *Or mapped as an area and a node:*
> tourism=hotel
> building=yes
> name=The 5 Star
> website=http://5star.example.com
>
> amenity=toilets
> access=permissive
> wheelchair=limited
> description=Lobby toilet, just past reception.

> *But a private toilet at best should get tagged but not widely rendered:*
> building=residential
> toilets=yes
> toilets:access=private
> toilets:disposal=composting
>
> or:
>
> building=yes
> amenity=toilets
> access=private
> note=Cute looking outhouse on the hill, with moon and stars.

> or to really tag for the rendering:
>
> building=yes
> private:amenity=toilets
> access=private
> note=Cute looking outhouse on the hill, with moon and stars.
