Better to use the term fluid rather than liquid.

Why would tap=yes be a good default?

I have run an overpass query to find all tagged types of drinking 
fountains 
("fountain"~"^(bubbler|drinking|nasone|drinking_fountain|toret|roman_wolf|wallace)$").

The total number of tagged items is 1572, 964 of which are in Italy (732 
of which in Rome!!). In Italy this kind of fountains generally does  not 
have a tap.

Thus, the majority of fountains currently tagged in osm do not have a 
tap; at this point it would be more sensible to have tap=no as a default.
