The present definition for the tag 'changing_table' is "A tag for
tagging changing tables".
This is a 'self referencing description'. One way of
testing/demonstrating this is to remove any words in the description
that are present in the source.
This would make the description "A for " ... and that demonstrates the
failing of a self referencing description, they add no real information
to aid a person who does not know what is mean by the tag 'changing_table'.
-------------------------------------------------
So what is a better description for OSM use? The tag is to be used to
indicate the presence of an aid to replacing babies nappies, so start
with that in a broad sense?
"an aid to replacing clothing"
That could be applied to dolls, animals etc .. so make it for humans,
usually babies?
"an aid to replacing human, usually babies, clothing"
Clothing might be too general, so reduce it to nappies/diaper?
"an aid to replacing human, usually babies, nappies/diaper"
