[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - electricity=*

[Lukas Richert]

Hi,

I was actually thinking of the type of battery, i.e. flywheel, LiOn, 
etc. Although it would probably also be interesting to figure out a 
tagging scheme to classify batteries by type, capacity etc. for the 
future. And it's true that :grid, :generator, and :battery as second 
namespaces are redundant if the source keys can be restricted to only 
being usable if the corresponding infrastructure key is used.

The only issue I see with separating the tagging like this if the 
general source of electricity is advertised (e.g. 'renewable' in a 
supermarket and you can't determine if that's because they're connected 
to the grid or they have a small wind turbine out back..rather unlikely 
but still). I think that it's likely easy to tell or would also be 
advertised if they had a local generator. Or perhaps would then have to 
be left untagged.

If you'd like to add such a table to the wiki, feel free! :)

Best regards,

Lukas
