A shower too would have a water tap. We don't add that tag to the shower 
.. so why would we to a bubbler? Should we not try to keep it simple?

Decorative fountains (what I would simply call a fountain) would also 
have a tap .. but not normally used by the public .. and plumbers would 
call it a 'stop cock' in Australia.
