[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - health_amenity:type

[François Lacombe]

Hi Mark,

I agree with your choice to specifiy which service are available in a given
facility.
This doesn't require to add :type in the name of the key. Such suffixe
don't bring any information.
Your proposal would be way better if you use health_amenit=MRI at least
instead

All the best

François
