The amazing is that I was told that opening_hours supports (just search)
"on appointment" and that after coding it I learn that what I have added
is a comment. And that the "fallback" '|| "on appointment" ' would in
fact be '||'.

It's far from the first time that I read "if you don't understand, write
the documentation".
On the other hand, I did write a simplified syntax
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:opening_hours#Simplified_syntax> of
what I think I understand and which was applauded by the "normal
mappers" but someone had removed it and almost insulted me for doing that.

Thanks for any improvement.
I suggest (generally) that documentation said something like "anything
in quotes is a comment that can be considered as removed from the tag"
and only then gave examples.
This is because explaining syntax almost only with comments like the
opening_hours  page does may have the reader believe that comments mean:
the text in quotes may be displayed on the user screen if the preceding
part of the rule is true or something like that.

Cheers

André.
