[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - electricity

[Lukas Richert]

The original proposal for electricity=* was rejected. It would have been 
greatly appreciated if major comments/critiques had come during the 
lengthy RFC phase.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/electricity

I have now changed to proposal to only include public buildings and 
amenities. Other critiques I would like to discuss below:

1. "No" is clearly the default negative in OSM and keeping the "none" 
value will only result in further error by future mappers leading to a 
splitting of two values with the same meaning. I'd rather correct the 
1000 "nones"now (or rather just deprecate and wait for them to be fixed) 
than to carry this error into the future. This change is decidedly NOT 
just for changing.

2. Adding electricity=yes when using electricity subtags makes it easier 
for data consumers as discussed on the talk page.

3. There seems to be vehement opposition to the :origin tag. It is now 
separate from input as was originally requested. I unfortunately can't 
change the laws around guaranteeing origin but would like some way to 
map this feature. It has been made abundantly clear that this is of 
financial means. I'd also like to point out that we map organic=* and 
this too could be a "lie" with no way for the mapper to verify it.

4. I have elaborated a bit more on the tag transition and tag statistics 
in regards to power_supply vs socket according to taginfo.

Are there any further concerns that need to be addressed?
