1) Tagging your neighbor's toilet/oven/Ferrari could easily be seen as coveting those items. I don't recommend it. YMMV. 2) A "private=" tag only works for certain tag types. However a namespace could work. "disused:" is one such namespace. For reference a sample use of "disused:" is: "disused:amenty=toilet , disused:note=Burned down 2014, scheduled for a rebuild August 2015". So you could entertain "private:amenity=toilet". 3) We already have "access=private", a well established tag. The question is which private things should be excluded from rendered maps (e.g. toilets), and which ones should show (e.g. buildings). Excluding private toilet seems a sane step for a general purpose map. Else you get this: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3066715547#map=18/-16.03918/34.72667
