As long as it's documented and the tags are explicit in their meaning
(i.e. the meaning is directly inferable from the tags), it's easy to
change later - i.e. I'd go ahead and do it :) This is assuming of
course that the wiki hasn't already got other instructions on how to
do it.

Specifically, though, I'm wondering why use amenity:atm=yes rather
than atm=yes? Is there ever some "atm" that isn't an amenity?
