I don't think "amenity" is a suitable tag for a consulate. Amenities are parks, or toilets, or similar. "Should we go to the park or the consulate for a picnic today?" "I'm busting for a crap, where's the nearest consulate?" And I'm damned sure an embassy isn't an amenity (I'm not even sure, in these days of telecommunications, if it serves any purpose other than housing spies, but if heads of state do still use embassies for formal communication between governments they're definitely not amenities). Embassies and consulates seem a slightly better fit in office=government, but still a square peg with the corners filed down a little trying to fit into a round hole. I'm not happy with service:*=* acting as distinctions as service is used elsewhere for other things. It complicates editors as they have to do selective matching to figure out which particular service:* tags to offer up with a particular main tag. It is also less easy to comprehend at a glance. I'd say diplomatic=* is a better way to go because it is more obvious and easier for editors. I don't know what the answer is, all I can say is I'm not overly happy with what has been suggested so far. -- Paul
