[Tagging] Nursing homes

Hi

Just saw a couple of things a bit strange, & also a bit doubtful?, about
the way something has rendered? Not sure where to mention this, so any
suggestions welcome!

Just looking at a couple of nursing homes, which are both tagged
amenity=nursing_home (which is now supposed to be amenity=social_facility &
so on, but not too worried about that atm).

The places I've looked at are:
Sandbrook https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-28.09803/153.42284 &
Ozanam https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=18/-28.09949/153.44551

The actual Sandbrook building is outlineded as amenity=nursing_home, while
for Ozanam, individual buildings are tagged as building=yes, with the area
being tagged nursing_home.

The problem I've seen is that Sandbrook doesn't appear on normal map view,
but appears when you go to edit, while Ozanam's buildings show, but nothing
to indicate nursing home, once again till you go to edit. Their names also
don't appear till going to edit on either.

When I look at them in OSMAND+ though, they both render as a very pale
green, Sandbrook as the outline of the building, Ozanam as the area?

The other thing is that the tag that renders in map edit & also on OSMAND+
shows someone in a wheelchair? Yes, there will be a number of people in any
nursing home confined to a wheelchair, but there are also a *lot* who
aren't! Are we possibly inviting complaints suggesting that nursing home =
disabled?


Thanks

Graeme
