Because drinking water is a *property* of sources, water wells,
fountains, drinking fountains (bubblers) etc., I think it makes more
sense to tag these objects and to add drinking_water=yes tags
(discouraging the use of `amenity=drinking_water`).
As for the rendering, I like how OsmAnd renders drinking_water=yes/no:
with a drop overlay that is blue for drinking_water=yes [^1] and grey
for drinking_water=no [^2].
