It's important to realize that the term 'hostile' has a certain meaning 
in the realm of architecture, and need not necessarily be seen as 
judgmental. (Gothic architecture, for instance, was originally a slur 
implying primitive barbaric style.) That said, if the situation can be 
described using simple factual terminology that would be better, since 
interpreting it wouldn't require any extra knowledge.

I agree with your objection to 'sleepable=yes' -- it implies permission, 
like an access tag. So we might consider 'sitting=only' or 
'sitting_only=yes'.
