[OSM-talk] R: RFC: amenity=mortuary (and amenity=emergency_room)

[Fabrizio Carrai]

I agree for the "morgue" term.

I would say something to key "amenity" an why I would prefer the use of the
key "landuse"

I don't know in other launguages but in italian the most common meaning for
AMENITY is something nice, beautiful, pleasant...attributes not related at
all with "morgue" and few other "amenity=..." like:

- crematorium
- dentist
- emergency_phone
- grave_yard
- prison

Just for the sake of completeness there is also the (unusual) translation in
"comodita' " (commodity), that is the one that make more sense in the OSM
context.
