As far as I understand you, the term "post office" in everyday language
does match different objects (only a subset) than the OSM tag. To me,
that makes the impression a refined OSM tagging makes sense from US
perspective, i.e. one that distinguishes between the USPS and others
just like everday language does. Is that conclusion appropriate? Does
the proposal seem suitable?

You're welcome to suggest :)
