Let’s just keep this scoped to first aid kits.  If it was staffed location, I’d 
probably use something under `healthcare=*`  (maybe `clinic`)

Yes it is OK to
- invent a new tag value and 
- setup a wiki page for it and 
- notify the tagging list.  

People do this all the time (maybe without notifying the tagging list, but 
let’s encourage more of that).

Proposals should only be for when we’re inventing a new toplevel key or 
introducing a change that affects a lot of things (like PTv2, healthcare, etc). 
 I see a lot of proposal misuse and proposals that shouldn’t be proposals in 
the first place - let’s stop doing this.


FWIW, someone else already made the wiki page.  I’ve cleaned it up and added 
the preset to iD.

So that’s the tag.  Be glad we accomplished something!

Thanks,  Bryan
