I just wanted to extend the meaning of 'visibility' so that it does not
match only the 'clocks' but more things and for example 'advertising'
devices.
As a matter of fact, I find as well that "house"/"street"/"area" are not
very well understandable values for "visibility", but its was the
existing values, and I did n't want to change them, maybe just precise
their scope.
I think we should remove the distance in meters, because 5m, 20m, or any
other distances won't fit to all needs. It is more to get the average
scope, rather than an exact distance.
Visibility and readability are not the same, things are first visible,
then when you get closer same things become readable. But as tag is
called 'visibility' we should only speak about visibility and forget
about readability here.
Then I make another proposal
*visibility=** is used for publicly visible devices or features to
evaluate the scope of their visibility
-visibility=house : visible from the distance of one house (or
building), the device is targeted mostly for pedestrians, or bikers
-visibility=street : visible from the distance of one street, the
device is targeted up to passers-by into vehicles going slowly
-visibility=area : visible from all the area, the device is targeted up
to passers-by into vehicles going fast
If somebody wants to make a better wordings, I would be glad
Thank you

Do you mean visibility, or would legibility be better here? Maybe I
can see a clock from 100m away, but it is not actually useful until
it becomes legible at 20m.
You use the word "readable" (=legible) yourself.
+1 for text, less pertinent for things like an inflatable sculpture or
similar, also the values seem off from what I'd expect by reading
their names.
"house" doesn't seem to be a good name in general, as it refers to a
residential building, the least place where I'd expect advertisements
to be mapped. I'd call it "indoor" or "building" and would expect it
to mean something like 20m. 5 m is really nothing. Similarly, 20m is
very few for the "street" scope, I'd expect this to be something like
50-150m, while area could be up to one or a few kilometers (if placed
on a high building, and e.g. illuminated or light emitting at night ).
cheers,
Martin
