yes, I can understand your frustration because apparently the makers of JOSM have hijacked the notaries and the numbers of "their" tag are now growing quite fast, due to the prevalence of JOSM. ;-) Please, take a step back and look at both tags, without insisting on the "first come first served" rule, are there really good arguments to tag notaries as subclass of lawyers? Why is a different "main tag" worse (in other words, say the same with one tag rather than 2, do not require "exotic" subtags like lawyer=* to be looked at)? IMHO the office=notary tag is ok (and useful, I'd see this more useful than the office=lawyer tag, because occasionally everybody might be in need of a notary for various reasons (in Italy you even need one to buy a car), while even if you might also need a lawyer, you will likely need a lot more information (specialization, references, etc.) to choose one, while for the notary any will probably do.
