[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Bench: replace seats by capacity

[martianfreeloader]

Hi Mitja,

I've drafted two opposing proposals on whether capacity/seats should be 
tagged on benches without a functional separation into seats or not.

The purpose is to find out if there is a community consensus on this 
question.

"Sure, it's fine to tag capacity, even if there is now functional 
separation":

"No way! -- This is not objective":
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Bench:_Do_not_tag_capacity_if_no_separation

*NOTE:* Please discuss *both* proposals on the discussion page with the 
positive statement:
