[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - (consulate)

[Warin]

That should be possible - it would come up with both tags - 
amenity=diplomatic with diplomatic=embassy, or amenity=diplomatic with 
diplomatic=consulate

If you type 'tennis' what does ID come up with? sport=tennis with a 
selection of leisure=pitch, or something=sports_centre ..
