Actually, I was not referring to a new top level tag of waste=* but to amenity=dump_point. I quoted from the previous post but that was very misleading.
I wanted to avoid the proliferation of waste types that must be associated with a new tag of waste=* By more carefully defining only one tag, (dump_point, dump_station), a tag that's already is use, we could simply stop there. If, OTH, we create a totally new tag of amenity=waste we're faced with getting all the follow on tags approved. Fir example, waste=sharps? I think I know what that is, but do we really need this fine granularity? Do we really want to have a long discussion about that tag? It's no biggie to me either way but simple is always better IMO.
