I'd say this depends on the object. > Example: a restroom with a sign reading "Closed until July 2014 for repairs", note="closed until july 2014 for repairs" (really, one year to repair a toilet?) > or a highly decorative water fountain that's dry, amenity=fountain (I wouldn't expect that a fountain has to have water in it all the time) > or a drinking water tap that works OK, but dribbles on your shoes, wouldn't think this is a detail worth storing it. I live in a city with many public drinking water fountains, they look like this: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nasone.jpg and sometimes they are dry, sometimes they dribble, sometimes they are so strong that their jet makes everything wet around them, but these are variations within a normal "range" and might also change from one day to the other. cheers, Martin PS: Basic tags for storing non-formal detail information are for example "note" (for other mappers), "description" (for map consumers), "fixme" (for other mappers and indicating a potential problem) and their localized variants.
