to make this work, projects like osm carto would either have to add a
column for this key to their dbs or mappers would have to add something
like amenity=diplomatic on top of all tags (and likely it will lead to the
second way of doing it). It would make sense, if amenity=diplomatic was
sufficient information for a significant number of people, it doesn't make
sense if amenity=diplomatic does not convey the required information.

diplomatic=minor_mission? If there's neither a consul nor an ambassador, it
must be somehow minor ;-)

if these are all exclusive, it could also be:

amenity=[embassy, consulate, minor_mission]
diplomatic=[(embassy/yes), nunciature, high_commission, interests_section,
mission, delegation, branch_embassy, (consulate/yes), consulate_general,
consular_agency, consular_office, honorary_consul, liaison_office,
representative_office, subnational]

we would save on keys and the main level (most mappers interested) would be
in the amenity space and have just 3 different, simple tags with reasonable
level of detail.


or amenity=[embassy, consulate, minor_mission]
embassy=[embassy/yes, nunciature, high_commission, interests_section,
mission, delegation, branch_embassy]
consulate=[consulate/yes, consulate_general, consular_agency,
consular_office, honorary_consul]
minor_mission =[liaison_office, representative_office, subnational]

diplomatic=[trade_office, assistance_office, cultural_center, user_defined]

(integrating your diplomatic:type)
