[Tagging] "Feature Proposal - RFC - (office=courier)"

[Tobias Wrede]

Hi  Kelvin,

I still don't see how this proposal addresses any of the many concerns 
brought forward in the previous amenity=courier voting or this thread. 
Just changing amenity to office doesn't make the whole 
post-office/courier tagging any better (quite the opposite in my opinion).
