I think this argument is crucial.
if more than one meaning exists for a tag, having a precise meaning for
a country is useless, osm is a global base, it's a bad idea to hope a
render style "tag A rendered as meaning1 in Africa, as meaning2 in
Europe, as meaning3 in Asia".
for quality, it is important to abandon multi-meaning tags and use
new tags instead, one for each existing sense.

as the subject said "leisure=common <...> need a replacement"
several replacements.

Regards,
Marc
