I cannot find water_tap=* on the wiki, anyway taginfo shows 166 elements 
tagged as water_tap=* and 470 tagged as tap=*.

I'm asking for comments about those ideas; I'm not proposing to change 
them without previously discussing about it.

If I make a proposal it will be solely on the changes I listed in the 
Proposed summary section.


> I would tend to think of one or 2 simple proposals : 
Yes, I could split this into different proposals. I think that starting 
with tap=* will be the easiest.

Then I could make one to describe the style of the fountains and another 
one to add the generic values decorative and utility.


> for=drinking/bottle/dog/... to describe how it can be used 
I'm quite unsure about this idea... a fountain that spouts water 
downwards can be used to fill bottles, to drink and to let dogs (and 
other animals?) drink.

Would simply style work?
