[Tagging] RFC - Proposed features/emergency=lifeboat station

[Jez Nicholson]

When the lifeboat is permanently moored at a particular location it is less
transitory than a bus....so people can and do tag them. Not me necessarily,
but other mappers.

So, my request that amenity=lifeboat be removed from the proposal's list of
incorrect tags as it is *not* a lifeboat station.

Yes, it should probably be emergency=lifeboat and the proposal could
suggest that, but they are low in number.
