I still believe that for the feature at hand it is enough to have amenity=courier, just so we can distinguish it from the traditional postal_office. Do we need subtags for courier yet ? I do not think so.
We are mapping supermarkets/convenience stores which offer different products/services for more than 10 years without subtags to differentiate between hypermarkets, discounters, supermarkets that offer a services of a licensed butcher, etc. Any attempt on adding detail to this was seen as unneeded for OSM, yet we demand this level of detail from a 1.0 proposal for courier services ? m.
