For example tag presence of additional armrest in the middle and width rather than tag `bench:architecture=hostile`. In one case that I am familiar with I would tag something like - armrest_count=3 (there is one in the middle) - depth=XYZ (as bench is made so one would fall from it on attempt to lie there) I would also create a proposal for this tags if this turned out to be useful. sleepable=yes/no is for me problematic as it can be easily confused with "is it OK to sleep there". `bench:architecture=hostile` has multiple problems - it is unclear (what it means? that it was built during Russian occupation?), subjective and it shows clear opinion in social topic. It is preferable to use tags that are as objective as possible.
