Under "Rendering" you say "Typical police stations, i.e. places where one can get in contact with the police usually 24/7, should be rendered different from other police facilites" In my part of the UK (still running austerity measures) which is largely rural, the police stations in smaller towns are not 24/7. They work office hours. There is a special phone on the outside of the building that contacts the main police station (which around here can be up to 30 miles away). I know you say "usually" but I'd change that to "often." Around here it's unusual for these stations to be 24/7. You probably also need to mention opening_hours=* as a tag that can be used in combination. You don't discuss what to do when the domestic police are (at least notionally) part of the military. Somebody here brought up the Italian Carabinieri. And yesterday I read that the French Gendarmerie are part of the French military. In the UK domestic police are not part of the military but the Ministry of Defence has various Service Police forces dealing with the protection of military bases and the behaviour of military personnel; it also has the "Ministry of Defence Police" for dealing with terrorism and protecting nuclear plants (I've simplified what they do). Which of all those get mapped as police and which get mapped as military will need to be figured out at some point. If not on the page for police=* itself then at least a page documenting local decisions on such matters. -- Paul
