Hi,

    there was a proposal on the Wiki about two years ago about a 
possible extra tag "emergency" for hospitals, to signal whether they 
have an A&E (or ER, U.S.) facility. The proposal was voted through at 
the time but there were procedural doubts (something like 5 pro and 1 
contra vote or so) and the proposal remained in limbo and was recently 
flagged "abandoned" by User:Chriscf.

Meanwhile, since the "emergency" tag obviously makes a lot of sense, it 
has been used about 80 times in conjunction with hospitals in Europe.

I'll therefore move that on to the Map Features page unless someone has 
a good reason against it.

See here for details of the old proposal:

Bye
Frederik
