+1 I've visited a couple of coworking spaces in my country and have looked at websites of several others. Coworking spaces are targeted towards white-collar office desk jobs, usually for freelancers who are into graphic design, software development, or other online-based outsourcing jobs. Students who need a place to study or do projects also go to coworking spaces. Clients of coworking spaces typically need a desk, Wi-Fi Internet access, and probably coffee or tea for refreshment. You can typically rent a desk or a small office space by the month, or just rent a desk for the day, hot-desking-style. I can find arguments favoring either amenity=* or office=* so I don't really care which of the two is used. But I think *=coworking is better than *=coworking_space since coworking is really tied to the definition of renting some office desk space in order to study or work. Plus it's shorter to type.
