Disagree, some are are the same feature .. taps can be drinking water .. 
or 'not suitable for drinking' (legal CYA?), 'recommend you boil' (more 
CYA?), and 'not suitable for drinking' (you really would not drink this 
stuff, just look and smell it!)

We don't use different main tags for roads that are private.. If it is 
the same feature but has different properties secondary tags have been 
used.
