After discussion on this list I have a proposed approach for bringing the pitlatrine concept into the toilet tagging. This involves two new tags:
amenity=toilets indoor=yes * if the toilet entrance is indoors. Outdoor entrances are otherwise assumed.* toilets:position=* * one or more of seated, squat, urinal (e.g. "seated;urinal" if the facility supports both use positions).* toilets:disposal= toilets:disposal=flush * toilets that move waste away from immediate area using a liquid (usually water).* toilets:disposal=pitlatrine * waste falls into a lined or unlined pit.* toilets:disposal=chemical * waste falls into a lined pit filled with a chemical.* toilets:disposal=bucket * waste is placed in a container which is removed by hand for disposal.* *There are quite a few other toilet tagging desires, perhaps someone else can work on refining:* male=yes/no for * tagging a men-only entrance=yes.* female=yes/no for * tagging a female-only entrance=yes.* access=key *used if asking for an access key is needed.* composting=yes toilet:changing_table=yes/no toilet:handwashing=yes/no toilet:byop=yes/no *bring your own paper (for wiping).* *The draft is up at * http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tag:amenity%3Dtoilets
