Obviously, I disagree.

Hmm, I think I may finally start to see your point.

Let me ask you this though: Do you see a clear distinction in terms of access rights between
(a) areas anyone is allowed to visit without pre-clearance based on a "qualifying reason", and
(b) areas off-limits to everyone unless pre-clearance is obtained?

If so, what should the tagging look like, in your opinion?

An example for (a) might be an English driveway looking like example (9) above.
An example for (b) might be the Sellafield nuclear site.
