I’m not a native speaker but I don’t think there will be any confusion when using changing_table. I don’t know of any changing tables for adults outside of nursing homes. In case of need we can add changing_table:for=adults.

I encourage you to make a proposal if you want.

in reality the problem #1 is that some members of the community are very 
cautious when there is a 1:1 change proposal to replace a bad 
"not-low-usage" key with a new better key, including those who have 
never filled one of this object in osm nor used the data about this 
object :(
Maybe your proposal will pass sucess due it is changing one key
with several others.

the problem of existing applications (there are only 4 reported on 
taginfo) is not a problem. it is possible to ask it to support the 2 
keys for 1 month and to make a mass edition in the middle of the month. 
but here again the problem is the timidity of some members

the small question that remains, should the key be called 
baby_changing_table or changing_table? some people talked
about adult tables (I have a little trouble imagining an adult
on a table). that could avoid confusion
