Main difference between buildings and cabinets (street or not) is that
technicians can enter in a building but not in a cabinet.
man_made=street_cabinet was mainly intended for cabinets located in streets
(not necessairly on sidewalks) but can actually cover cabinets in private
areas.

location=kiosk raises terminology questions and prevent to give the actual
location of the cabinet when a substation is in it.
That's why using man_made=street_cabinet is more consistent with local
distribution substations not installed in a proper building.

This is one of such for example :

All the best
