[talk-ph] tagging distinctly Philippine POIs

[Ronny Ager-Wick - Develo Ltd.]

Very interesting conversation!
I often wonder which tag to put on certain POIs and sometimes resort to
guessing, which of course is not good. What if we use this discussion as
a basis for a wiki page for Pinoy POIs, sort of like a dictionary of
amenities, like:
MMDA urinals - see toilets
Toilets - amenity=toilets; fee=yes/no
Newspaper stand - shop=newsagent
Cockfighting arena - sport=cockfighting
Multipurpose hall - building=yes; amenity=public_building
etc.
I would include the generic world wide ones as well, so we can use this
as a guideline for how to tag stuff when in doubt.

Or is there already such a page?
Ronny.
