[Tagging] Specify "private" - e.g. resident or employee parking lots

[Alex]

Hey,

for objects such as parking lots that cannot be used by the general 
public (access=private), it can be helpful to specify the "private" user 
group more precisely, e.g. residents or employees. (This can also be of 
interest for paths/ways, barriers or other objects.)

I can find several taggings for this in the database (none of them 
documented, as far as I can see), in particular:

1: access=private + private=residents/employees
2: access=private + access:residents/access:employees=yes/designated/...
3: access=private + residents/employees=yes/designated/...
4: access=residents/employees.

Which tagging would you use/prefer? I like the approach using 
"access:residents" etc., as it would offer the widest range of tagging 
possibilities (e.g. a more precise distinction of access for this or 
even several special user groups) and makes clear, that this information 
is an access tag. A similar syntax seems to be already in wide use in 
particular for disabled parking spaces (access:disabled) resp. was once 
proposed for parking spaces and it's various user groups. 
"access=residents" or "access=employees" each have thousands of uses, 
but seem inappropriate to me because they break with typical access 
conventions/classes.

Thanks,
Alex
