I am a bit puzzled by the use of amenity here.

According to wiki it is "Covering an assortment of community
facilities..." that
are of obvious use to locals and/or tourists such as toilets, banks,
schools.

I find the use of amenity for things like a bar or biergarten or sauna to
be outside this description.

I also do not understand the use of amenity for a tourist or ornamental
feature such as a fountain?

Please, if we are going to discuss how to tag a feature then let us first
put it in it's correct category.

Surely it is just a "place-of-interest" and would be under tourism=fountain
for those fountains that are of interest to the visitor (and would
therefore not be confused with a drinking fountain which would be an
amenity=drinking_water) and man_made=fountain for others of less note (as I
am unaware of a general place_of_interest tag).
