In my opinion, "other" is not acceptable as a key for something as specific as the subtype of diplomatic missions which aren't either embassies nor consulates. It is far too broad. "other_mission" would come close to "other" but would give some indication on the context (maybe there remains some ambiguity, because "mission" is used in different context too). > if these are all exclusive, it could also be: >> >> amenity=[embassy, consulate, minor_mission] >> > I think we are past the point of calling diplomatic missions "amenity". > We're now down to either "office=diplomatic" or "diplomatic=*" There has > been broad consensus expressed that diplomatic missions are not amenities. > While I still don't see a problem with amenity (the key is currently a home for monasteries, churches, temples, mosques, hospitals, schools, pharmacies, post offices, grave yards, pubs, police stations, townhalls, community_centres, social_facilities, dentists, marketplaces, bus stations, theatres, universities, courthouses, banks, embassies, prisons...), I could live with office=diplomatic as well, while introducing a new main tag would probably lead to disruption and would be a good way to ensure that amenity=embassy never goes away (which it maybe won't anyway, people will likely add additional tags and retain the amenity=embassy tag).
