What I said is that I believe it is more important to tag whether the 
flow of water can be stopped or not than tagging specifically how it can 
be stopped or regulated.

You are misinterpreting what I wrote: I didn't state that such features 
shouldn't be tagged, just that I don't personally find it useful. I also 
provided an example of some people who might actually find it useful.

I do not like the aggressiveness in this comment of yours; I feel that 
prioritizing things is an important aspect when deciding what to do and 
discouraging people from intervening because they don't feel every 
single detail should be tagged is not a positive way to do this.

As an example: I might propose to tag the position of every single brick 
of every single building. This might be useful, but if someone 
intervenes by saying that adding the position of the buildings should be 
more important than specifying the position of the bricks I should not 
get mad at them. Their input is useful and will highlight the lack of 
buildings in the map; some people will prefer having all the buildings 
mapped even if the single bricks are not mapped.

I will not tell them their opinion is useless because they're not open 
to tagging every single detail that exists.


If I reflect on what I wrote "I can just go to the fountain and observe 
what I find." I then realize that the current tagging situation is even 
much less detailed than this. Prevalently it is currently (at least in 
this topic): here is drinking water, you can go there and see how it is 
provided to you. I barely can know there's a fountain there because of 
the overly fragmented tagging scheme.

Please let's not be ridiculous by assuming we have infinite resources 
and that whatever gets approved here will actually become a widespread 
and useful tag.
