[talk-au] operator:type to distinguish private/public hospitals | Was: Re: [Tagging] Classifying hospitals (Was: Deprecate healthcare=centre)

[Andrew Harvey]

Pretty sure you can't have two tags (keys) the same with different values.

If it's run by a religious organisation then I would say it should be
tagged as operator:type=religious. Religious is just a special type of
private. So public hospitals would just be all which are not
operator:type=public.
