Well, yes, voting "no" is probably not useful, but this is also the 
least "interesting" bit of the proposal. The purpose here would be just 
to bless the tag with "status=approved" rather than "status=de-facto".

Huh? There is clearly some miscommunication happening here.

The capacity and capacity:* tags apply to amenity=parking, which is used 
to map entire *lots*. Capacity is clearly meaningful in this context.

Individual parking *spaces* are not supposed to be tagged 
amenity=parking, they are supposed to be tagged amenity=parking_space.

I fail to see the confusion. Maybe you were misreading the proposal? (I 
am not at this time proposing capacity or capacity:* tags for 
amenity=parking_space. That tag *can* have a capacity¹, but it's 
arguable whether it *should*, or whether it's preferable to not map 
multi-capacity spaces.)

(¹ ...and iD thinks it should have capacity=1, while JOSM disagrees. 
I've been tagging them thusly, but that's arguably an iD bug that should 
be fixed, in which case I'd happily go back and nuke all my capacity=1.)
