What will happen is that you're asking rendering and processing software to keep up with a blizzard of subtags. "charging_station" presently is understood to mean a vehicle charging station, not a generic charging station. Suddenly icons designed for vehicle charging will start appearing inside airports. Similarly: power_supply=cee_17_red power_supply=cee_7_4 power_supply=usb forces rendering to understand a long series of values. For an AC wall plug that means understanding that nema_5_15 sev_1011 and cei_23_16 are all types of AC wall plugs, but that USB is something different. It's asking too much from the maintainers of rendering software. ---------------------------------------- If you're mapping a duck, call it a duck.... not a creature=thing_with_feathers legs=2 quacking=yes.
