I believe there is room for tagging both the amenity and the private toilet where this is deemed a positive study point. The amenity=toilet is an existing tag for public access amenity and is rendered on the map. As toilets do not sit out in the open (except in some continental places where it is just a modesty wall) but are rather housed in a structure of some kind then I see no reason why we could not add a non-rendering tag toilet=yes to a building for private toilets either in a residence or outhouse. That way anyone who wishes to do a study can search for the tag toilet. Hope this comment helps the discussion
