Hello. I am yumean1119 from Japan and mapping mainly around Okayama.
Recently, I have surfed some proposal pages about new tagging schems for
educational facilities.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Education_2.0
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_Features/Education_Reform_Alternative
They seem to be bad ideas since the proposed education=* tags are redundant
over the existing amenity=school/kindergarten/university... tags.
So I thought it would be good to use these education=* tags together with a
new tag for education outside school only, for example,
amenity=educational_service.
However, the proposal pages say:
> There has been arguements not to make a amenity
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity>=*
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:amenity%3D*&action=edit&redlink=1>
for everything that exists on the planet.
I don't know the reason why we should not use amenity=* too much. If you
have time, please let me know.
