I can't agree with you guys.

All kinds of facilities where you can rent a bed for a night may be mapped as

First, there are relatively clear definitions what is a
hotel vs. motel vs. guest house. For food, the discussion is
still ongoing e.g. what characterises fast food.

Second, those tags were grown historically, if you started them
from scratch you would probably go for something hierarchically,
eg. subtagging a general accommodation tag.

Well you can look for amenity=playground and playground:supervised=yes,
so where is the problem?

As said, there is no clear distinction/definition when a place falls in
one category or the other.

When you introduce a new tag, you force the renderer either to implement
the new tag, or to ignore it. If you specify an existing tag, the general 
purpose
renderer can already show it, while the specialised one can display you the
details.

In your first post you said

You are citing another proposal that considers itself as
"still in a brainstorming stage", and kids_area is used only 6 times so far.
Thus you cannot say we have it already.
