while it is convenient to link to wikipedia I don't like the idea very much that the definition for our keys or values are changed continuously on a remote place by non-mappers that aren't even aware that our tagging system is based on their definition. > I also think that it is worth > mentioning and linking to pertinent mail archive threads on the use of the > tag as it help gives some context.

I would go for a wholesale change. The longer we wait the messier it gets, it's like the license change ;-) > I like the wikipedia definition: > amenities are any tangible or intangible benefits of a property, especially > those that increase its attractiveness or value or that contribute to its > comfort or convenience. That's not the way amenity is used in OSM.
