Martin, Jean-Marc, I appreciate the feedback. You are voicing some good elements. I am not totally convinced yet about generic vs specific. Fairly generic tag like 'man_made=cabinet' sounds very sensible as first level. Furthermore I do feel other proposal I have seen like 'street_' and 'technical_' are not necessary and not even useful.
[Derailing a bit] IMO it is a poor justification to compare a brand new tag (here 'street_cabinet') with the 10-year old established name of the project 'Openstreetmap'. Even more... Historical justification is sometimes inevitable but often it is rather unsatisfactory in my mind. If the name of the project 'Openstreetmap' could be easily changed or created today... maybe something else (better?) would appear instead. Not the subject here. [Not too serious] We have street_lamp [could be lamp, lamppost, light_source] and now street_cabinet [could be technical_cabinet, outdoor_cabinet, cabinet]... I don't want street_tree_row, street_pole, street_surveillance, street_bicycle_parking, street_atm, street_clock, street_post_box, and street_crossing. But who want to play street_hockey and enjoy street_art? :) [/Not too serious] [/Derailing] Back to our cabinets?
