[Tagging] Proposed feature - RFC - Military Bases

[Joseph Eisenberg]

This is an interesting idea.

But the current proposal only provides a way to tag the military service
branch of a military=base feature (which is usually also landuse=military).

It might be better if there were a way to tag the branch for any sort of
military feature, including military=office, military=danger_area
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Amilitary%3Ddanger_area>,
military=barracks, and so on.
