OSM tags aren't used because they are too few, but because their
definitions are clear and documentation is comprehensive.

It's not likely to happen anyway, as no one proposed to put power=* values
depending on source or particular capability.
Question is to know if what we try to describe match the current definition
or not.

It turns out that batteries are actual generators and capacitors aren't.

It's explained upside that storage is a particular capability of several
power devices.
No, power=storage won't be good as it doesn't state to which device it
corresponds to
