To me, tourism attraction sounds disrespectful for the men who died and I prefer memorial=tank. Usual OSM inconsistencies. Other searches seem to show that "tank" is known around the world, so, adding historic=tank or better memorial=tank is a +1 to me. Else, it would be *=war_tank, but nobody would search for that. And what's the problem with tank anyway, is there anything like a historic liquid container anyway?
That problem is a mild one. I asked how to tag posts where people wait for cars to pick them, both subscribed to a system called fr:covoiturage=en:car-sharing. Nobody would answer. So, I tagged them as car-sharing with a sub-tag indicating hike-sharing. They were nicely showing on OSM.org and I showed samples to the organizers. But in the meantime they had that rendering removed and I sounded like a fool. That's the way OSM goes. Your perfect tagging is turned to mistakes too without warning. And that's what's unhappily turning me away from OSM much. Cheers André.
