Hmm, I've just noticed that parking=* is already defined on the wiki
as "multi-storey, underground or surface"
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dparking).

In that case maybe we should continue trying to bend "access" to fit
the purpose, or aim for something more like:

parking=multi-storey/underground/surface
parking:who=public/customer/authorised

Commercial doesn't fit here - equivalent to public. I'm not sure about
"parking:who"...

Yep.

Good point. I'm not sure. I would think in this case you would maybe
leave parking:who blank, and just use an appropriate access=* tag on
the road/driveway leading to it.
