What can we assume the UK tag "waterway=elsan_point" means? One or more of:

  1) Walk up toilet
  2) Cassette dump for boats
  3) Cassette dump for motorhomes
  4) Pump out

I propose making the assumption the present elsan_point tag means* #3*,
then let local mappers adjust the tags as needed.
The tag scheme can handle all the above:

  1) Walk up toilet                                  (amenity=toilet)
  2) Cassette dump for boats               (waterway=sanitary_dump_station)
  3) Cassette dump for motorhomes      (amenity=sanitary_dump_station)
  4) Pump                                                 out
(sanitary_dump_station:pump-out=yes)
