Amenity= drinking_water is non specific. It does not tell me if I can 
drink directly from it (I can from a man_made=drinking_fountain), fill a 
water bottle without trouble (I can from a man_made=tag, 
drinking_water=yes), fill a caravan water tank (I and from a 
amenity=water_point) .. etc etc. People did not want to add subtags to 
amenity=drinking_water as you have done because some of these features 
have sings that say drinking_water=no, to have a feature with 
amenity=drinking_water, drinking_water=no is not good! .
