My suggestion for this case is to add lifeguard/s=yes as property to the guarded object or part of the object that is guarded / supervised, or maybe supervised:lifeguard=yes ? If Bryan wants to propose a new "neutral" lifeguard facility which does not bear any information in the first level about the kind of feature on the ground (in contrast to the system that has evolved through the comunity process), I suggest he sets up a proposal. There are currently only 6 uses of emergency=lifeguard water_rescue_station vs. lifeguard_base there are 216 emergency=water_rescue_station which to me seems a pretty self explanatory tag to indicate a somehow permanent presence of lifeguards with some infrastructure. The wiki says it is in proximity to the water surface it is guarding. The other tag is emergency=lifeguard_base with 240 uses and defined as the "main building" where the administrative work gets done and equipment and vehicles are "stored". I do not think we should merge those former 2 tags, they are both documented and clearly describe something very different. I agree the decision to use emergency=lifeguard_base for the office and storage building could be questioned, regarding the word "lifeguard base" (which to me suggests a place where lifeguards operate / supervise, not where they do the paperwork, as it is intended according to the wiki) and maybe also regarding the choice of "emergency" as a key, although this could be argumented because they are part of "emergency" services somehow. There are also 443 emergency=lifeguard_tower to me this looks like a clear tag, and I see no benefit in changing this to 2 tags like emergency=lifeguard and lifeguard=tower. > Maybe it's better to just introduce a new emergency=lifeguard in addition > to the existing emergency=lifguard_base, that way Bryan can offer that in > iD and existing tags, data consumers and wiki doesn't need to be changed. > It's a non-breaking change then instead of a breaking change. > as the lifeguard base is defined for storage and administration, it doesn't seem to fit with the expectations one would have from a potential new emergency=lifeguard.
