I think that in this case (so far low use, obvious problem etc)
changing should be fine without some formal proposal.

Though notifying users listed at
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/healthcare=birthing_center#projects
as using specifically this tag would be a good idea.

> Currently the documentation for healthcare=birthing_center uses American spelling. This is very prone to errors given general conventions and the fact that there are many other tags that use the British spelling of the same word (vaccination_centre, sports_centre, community_centre).

> There are only 427 uses of this tag. More than 5% of them already have British spelling.

> I'm considering updating the wiki and then re-tagging the remaining uses of the American variant.
