right, but this doesn't mean it must have the same main tag, in particular
"amenity" as key. For example we do not map private post boxes (your
incoming mail) the same as those from the postal service for outgoing mail,
although in the beginning there have been proponents to use
amenity=post_box, access=private ;-)

like the amenities.
