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

[Florian LAINEZ]

Hi Joseph,
I'm not proposing to approve embassy=yes, it's already approved cf.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:embassy%3Dyes

I propose to:

   - Deprecate embassy <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:embassy>=
   embassy
   <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:embassy%3Dembassy&action=edit&redlink=1>
   - Promote instead embassy
   <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:embassy>=yes
   <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:embassy%3Dyes>

Changing embassy=yes to embassy=*a more detailed value *is a separate topic
for later. It's not part of the current proposal.
