[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Deprecated embassy=embassy

[Florian LAINEZ]

Hi Simon, thanks for your reply.
That's right, for now, the depreciation have mostly been included into tag
proposals. Most of them are implicit, but some are definitely explicit eg.
office=goverment
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?oldid=1551112#Discouraged_tags>
; water=*
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Water_details#Deprecation>
; hazard=*
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/hazard#Features.2FPages_affected>
.
Therefore I don't see anything stopping us to vote an explicit depreciation.
As the proposal process is to "vote on a standard way to tag map features",
it should also be used to vote on a standard way NOT to tag features.

Also, if we want to properly deprecate some useless tags, I believe that we
should agree over its deprecation first.
For the users of the data (renders, editors, routers and more), it's a
clear sign to stop using the deprecated tag.
For the community, it's a green light for a smooth transition of tag.
