Not sure. My general thoughts, though, are:

1) Obviously, use what's already documented/in use where possible -
e.g. atm=yes is established, so use it instead of amenity:atm=yes
2) If it can only reasonably be interpreted as an amenity, I don't
think you need to use an "amenity:" prefix - it's redundant, right? Is
there any consensus on how to tag when you want to tag X=Y + X=Z? Is
using X:Y=yes + X:Z=yes best-practice, or just Y=yes + Z=yes? Maybe
this is worth starting a new thread on...
3) Regardless though, as I said, make sure "it's documented and the
tags are explicit in their meaning" - then you can't go wrong

Sorry I don't have time right now to do a bunch of wiki searching to
give you more specific answers. Maybe let me know if there's any
particular tags you're not sure about?
