[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Street parking revision

Hey all,

over the past few weeks, a group of mappers has been working on a 
proposal to improve the mapping of parking lanes and parking spaces 
along streets. Considerations and discussions about this have already 
arisen in the past among street parking mappers, and now a proposal has 
been prepared.

The goal of this proposal is to deprecate and replace the parking:lane=* 
and parking:condition=* schema for mapping street parking spaces. The 
existing schema has some weaknesses and is unnecessarily complicated and 
therefore unattractive for many mappers. Above all, in many ways it 
differs from today's OSM conventions. The proposed new schema is 
intended to be easier and more logical to apply. The new schema follows 
established OSM conventions more closely. It harmonises tagging of 
parking spaces mapped on the centerline as an attribute of a street with 
parking spaces mapped as a separate feature. It also reflects aspects of 
a data migration process.

For details, see the proposal: 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/street_parking_revision
It is quite extensive, as it covers and reforms all aspects of the 
previous schema and closes some further gaps.

Best regards
Alex
