The only reference I am seeing to waterway=water_point is to use amenity=water_point and I see no problem with that statement. Just as I see no problem with having a petrol pump on an airfield that can provide unleaded petrol for a car or a microlight aircraft, and the camp-site on the site might have a water_point for caravans, and a separate one for servicing the aircraft. If the water_point is on the tow path and provided by the Canal & River Trust but also services the camp site do we end up having it tagged for both, just as you propose for waterway=sanitary_dump_station + amenity=sanitary_dump_station? WHY do we have to have duplicate tags? I may not agree with what is currently being documented for some of these things, but if THIS proposal is taken to it's logical extent, then every facility has to have a duplicate waterway tag ... or we simply agree that there only needs to be one, and the access determines who can use it! AND then you add another complete set for aircraft? If it's a water_point on a marina and is private then it's no different to on on a camp site which is private. Only the right clients are allowed to use it. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
