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

[martianfreeloader]

I personally find it more consistent to reduce the number of synonymous 
keys across all objects.

But yes, I am considering two groups of mutually exclusive proposals to 
settle this issue. Something along these lines:

-----
ISSUE 1
Should the capacity of a bench be tagged on all benches or only on those 
which have clear seat separation? This is independent of issue 2.

Proposal 1A) Only on benches with have clear seat separation.

Proposal 1B) On all benches.

Question to be resolved:
Can a thing that has individual seats be considered a bench at all?

-------

ISSUE 2:
Which key should be used to tag the capacity of a bench? This is 
independent of issue 1.

Proposal 2A) Use seats=* on all benches.

Proposal 2B) Use capacity=* on all benches.

Proposal 2C) [Only if 1B is approved] Use seats=* on benches with clear 
seat separation and capacity=* otherwise.
-------

This is just a sketch, let's see if I have time to spell this it out in 
the next days.
