The whole reason this discussion started is because Bryan wants to offer a way to tag a lifeguard facility iD without forcing users to choose the exact kind of lifeguard facility. At the moment with the current documentation on the wiki you need to choose what type, and can't say it's a generic.

You can do this too, I won’t complain.

There are currently only 6 uses of emergency=lifeguard


The lifeguard tags that have "evolved through the community process" are flawed and not really used much, so we’re changing them. 
(I will not be doing a proposal, but posting to tagging mailing list seems nicer than just changing things)

going forward:

`emergency=lifeguard`
`lifeguard=*`   (tbh I dont care what values go here, base, place, space, whatever)

The wiki says it is in proximity to the water surface it is guarding. The other tag is emergency=lifeguard_base with 240 uses and defined as the "main building" where the administrative work gets done and equipment and vehicles are "stored". 

It’s fine for people to keep tagging these but I probably wouldn't add a preset for this in iD.


> as the lifeguard base is defined for storage and administration, it doesn't seem to fit with the expectations one would have from a potential new emergency=lifeguard. 

It could be `office=lifeguard` then.  Let’s get rid of them.


Thanks, Bryan
