[Tagging] Charging stations: Authentication

[Jan Michel]

Hi,
did I miss something, or was this the only mention of deprecating well 
established keys like "authentication:membership_card" and to replace 
them with a new tag "authentication:chip_card"?

I don't think that such a post is sufficient to completely rewrite the 
Wiki page 5 days later. To me this post read like a proposal for further 
discussion and not like a definite plan to change tagging practice 
immediately.

For now I changed the Wiki back to its earlier version, representing the 
current use of the tags. If there is a wish to change these tags in the 
future, there should be (at least) some expressed agreement between 
several mappers on the mailing list or the Wiki Talk page. Current 
status is that the tags in question are used about 20,000 times and the 
newly introduced ones almost not at all.

This way, someone looking at the charging station can determine whether it has a card slot for a chip card, or a "contactless/NFC/RFID" symbol on the side for tapping some kind of contactless card.
