See? This is *why* we need a page! Thank you for bringing up this
excellent point!
For me, I always look at parking_space=X and capacity:X as being
related. I didn't also propose e.g. parking_space=parent because I can't
recall ever encountering such a thing, but arguably that should be added
also.
That said... now I'm on the fence. FWIW, the amenity=parking page
mentions parking_space=disabled as being supported by at least one
renderer, while one has to do quite some digging for how to use
access:*. Clearly we *do* need to improve the documentation here! Also,
it's less obvious how one would apply access restrictions for e.g.
charging, compact.
(If I'm using overpass correctly, it looks like there are ~1k instances
of amenity=parking_space *also* tagged with access:disabled. That's
clearly much less popular than parking_space=disabled. Do you know if
any renderers use access:disabled to affect the rendering of
amenity=parking_space?)
