[Tagging] RFC: amenity=waiting_room and amenity=waiting_area

[osm.tagging at thorsten.engler.id.au]

These both look pretty straight forward. I don’t see anything objectionable at first glance.

 

It might be interesting to explore how these interact with public_transport=platform. (e.g. train station, you got the platform edge, and behind that you have benches or individual seats along most of the platform, does the qualify as a waiting area? What about if there are no benches/chairs, is it still a waiting area?)

 

It might also be interesting to explore how you can indicate, beyond just being near it, what (separately mapped) service/event/thing you are waiting for at that area.
