So how *should* we annotate an object, which we believe to be a permanent part of the landscape, but which needs some form of descriptive note? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example: a restroom with a sign reading "Closed until July 2014 for repairs", or a highly decorative water fountain that's dry, or a drinking water tap that works OK, but dribbles on your shoes, or a gate that works just fine if you whack it just so. We have a wonderful electronic map that can capture these shades of grey. My proposal is http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tag:operational_status ...to allowing one to make an advisory note about any object listing the status, some text about the status, and a survey date. I would use in for drinking fountains. The Humanitarian team has struggled with this also: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Tags/operational_status They may come up with things like a central hospital, currently closed, but expected to reopen. They certainly don't want to erase the hospital from most maps with a disused:amenity=hospital tag.
