One of the commenters has suggested an additional tag indicating what
services a consulate or embassy provides, and that is one option. Not
all consulates or consular sections of embassies offer all visa types,
for example. The existent service=* tag could possibly be used. For
example, one could add to either a consulate or an embassy the tag
service=[citizen services; notarials; apostiles; immigrant visas;
non-immigrant visas]. Thoughts?

> One further thought... There is also a big functional difference
between an embassy and a consulate. The former is more
government-oriented, whereas consulates provide services to
individual citizens. I know this is a big generalisation, but I hope
you will agree there is an important difference. BUT some embassies
also provide consular services, and some don't - they might direct
you to another address for your visa or whatever. If we tag
embassies and consulates distinctly, how do we add a secondary tag
to an embassy to indicate whether they do consular work or not?
