"heartbarrierfree=True" might be an option, but thinking about it a bit more, what you want to describe is not really that they have the sticker, but the accessibility to people in wheelchairs and how that is arranged. Thus I would like to propose "wheelchair=heartbarrierfree" as the tag for this. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com
