[Tagging] refugee camp

[Violaine_Do]

I wanted to point out also a few questions or thoughts : i am not sure 
it is ok (or pretty sure it is dangerous) to tag houses or group of 
houses with refugee=yes because it is quite localised and could be a 
sensitive information.

Then I am not a big fan of 
amenity=social_facility+social_facility:for=refugee for spotting a whole 
camp, as it is recurrent that there is social facilities in this camp, 
and so it will lead to errors such as "impossible to have an amenity 
inside an amenity".

Looking forward to read HOT views,

Thks
